Where did the last 8 weeks go?


I'm going to spend this week concentrating on updates as several of the horses here right now are coming up to 8 weeks in their rehab, which is always a crucial time. 
By this stage I want horses to be working consistently on a variety of surfaces, including doing several hours of roadwork per week and, as you can see, I want to see not only feet getting stronger and more robust but solid heel first landings and improving media-lateral balance. 
 
These feet belong to Mrs Hoggett, whose landing has been good for several weeks now.
Despite the fact that her feathers have grown back you can I hope see that the foot is more balanced and stronger now. 
She had good feet to begin with and her weak landing improved relatively quickly as a result.  
I'll be catching up on the rest of the horses over the next few days.

Certainly in this pic Mrs H looks as though she's standing with her weight more over her foot now (rather than trying to use the toe to counter balance the pastern).
