Lexus update

Time for some comparative footage of Lexus, who has now been here just over a month. The original footage was taken on 19th March and the second section on 21st April.

Of course he has a long way to go, but when he arrived he had extremely poor heels and frogs, which had contracted and atrophied - as these photos show: http://rockleyfarm.blogspot.com/2010/04/latest-hoof-photos.html - and so it was always going to be a challenge to get him comfortable enough to start engaging the back of his hoof.

We are just getting to the stage of being able to increase his work level so I am hoping he will improve again over the next month or so.
