Updates from the weekend - George and Daunte

Photos from the weekend, as George and Daunte have both been here for 8 weeks so it is time for an update...

As usual, the original photos are at the top and the most recent ones below. I'm quite pleased with the rebalancing of his feet, particularly that the back of his foot is stronger and loading better. 

Although George's toe looks longer in the more recent photo this will resolve without the need for trimming as his new hoof capsule grows in. 

I like the fact that his digital cushion is improving, although as he had a decent frog the changes are not as dramatic as in some horses.

Sorry that the angles are not a perfect comparison - this is Daunte's right foot; and for him the weak digital cartilage was the biggest problem so its great to see that improving.

A very different looking foot - there are big changes to come as you can see from the angle of growth and his toe will shorten over the next few months.

I like the fact that the heels are coming back - although his landing has a way to go he is confident on the roads and landing well so we will build this up over the next 4 weeks.
