Wow, the side by side shot is amazing. Look at how straight the coronet band is now, from being all wonky and curved upwards!
Major change! I kept scrolling through and got to the older photos. So pleased for you both. You've done very well by this horse. I'm looking forward to seeing the next lot of pics. Well done.
wow!!! what a difference -your horse is very lucky to have found you
My opinion, the filler doesnt concern me either but the state of the feet is not the farriers fault it is what its being fed, lacking terribly in nutrition, needs a good hoof supp. Get the filler taken off and trim regularly as horses feet will grow quicker its natural to replace the lost hoof rasped away also keeps the hoof tight, i would be concerned about the bullnose which would be from long toes that instead of flaring forward has bulged from the coffin bone, so keep toes trim and the laminae will not be stretched.
Big improvement but would be even more improvement if you got more toe off, this would make the heels not be underrun, the hoof grows in a tubular way and if the toe is long it pulls the tube forward so the heels collapse, get the toes back, happy days
Wow, looking SO much better.
That last bit of 'ski slope' toe is not far away from growing out, can't wait to see pics in another few months.
Such a transformation, you (and the horse of course) have done a fabulous job. Has his old owner seen his new feet?
Ooo no I've not show them his new feet yet I wanted to get to the point where I'm really confident hacking him out without boots before we tell them!
Bailey has basically done all the work himself all we did was show him the way by taking his shoes off really.
Have you bought him from the previous owners? Just seen on the first page that he was "free", give them a quid and get a receipt.
Omg what a fantastic transformation - well done you!
