2 week comparisons: Sisco's update

Google in their infinite wisdom decided to make some changes to the blog site that hosts this, which meant it signed me out inexplicably and when I signed back in it gave me a whole host of very old photos instead of the current ones. All most peculiar but we now appear to be back in business so here is Sisco, with apologies for the delay. 

Sisco was extremely toe first when he arrived and had very long under-run feet in front. It is of course going to take longer than 2 weeks for this to change significantly but if you compare the original photo (above) with his 2 week shot his stance is better now.

His feet still look long today but the time he has spent on the tracks has made his frogs work harder, which is an important first step in his recovery.

Basically you need frog stimulus to improve the frog and digital cushion and its this that allows the horse to become more comfortable using the back of the foot. 

Two weeks is nothing, really, so all we can hope to see at this stage are hints that things might be changing. A hairline which is less distorted in the lower photo is this sort of hint. 

Here again there is a harder working frog in the most recent photo but its still a weak and under-run hoof. 

A little more depth at the back of the hoof - another hint and a hope that we are heading the right way.
