If anyone is still looking at this...
The top photo is a still from a video taken on the 18th, the bottom is a still from a video taken yesterday... I think that's an improvement in landing isn't it? I need to try and get some better videos to keep track!

In case anyone is still interested, this is 6 weeks in - I've heard that this is when they start 'feeling' their feet but he seems to be ok! The right foot is landing better than the left but they're both getting there :)

I've been very lucky and he fits into my old pony's cavallos so I've been putting them on for longer hacks and doing some shorter ones closer to his field. If I ride in the field I don't have them on and he copes fine :)

Also a little video of walking down the stony path. For the first time he didn't pull me to the edge of the path so I'm pleased with that! His toes look a little long but it's because the sides have broken away where the nail holes were.

Excuse the dirty rug, he loves a mud roll! It's gone in the wash now.

Seems like he's doing well so far :)
