Tadpole's 4 week update

 Next up is Tadpole, also with a 4 week update and again with apologies for the picture quality. 


Quite a lot of change going on already, with a new band of growth visible in the top section of the hoof capsule and, as with the other horses, nail holes nearly grown out.

This is a messy frog still but I like the fact that his heels are less under-run and that the foot is beginning to rebalance.

Sorry - not the best comparison photos, I will try for clearer shots next time. 

Again the new growth is obvious and should result in a stronger hoof capsule once it has fully grown in.

There is more to do on this foot, and the frog is not as well developed partly because he has a central sulcus split and partly because his landing is less competent - chicken and egg.

There is a hint of a heel first landing in the footage, although it is better on the right foot, but a beginning is all we are looking for at this stage: https://vimeo.com/588842203
