New boys, L and Simon

 Our new boys have been here for 4 weeks so time to take a look at their feet and see what has been changing. 

I will post their footage on Instagram, and their photos on here. First up, L's feet:

Original pictures are at the top, as usual, with the more recent photos below. There are no dramatic changes here but a shift towards a stronger caudal hoof. This is his problem side, and he is still on/off lame on this foot in walk so we are being careful with his work. 

Stripes are helpful on hooves, because they highlight the changing angles. I am fairly sure that the angle is already changing and it will be clearer in another few weeks.

Sorry, this is not a helpful angle change but I think his frog is improving which is the first sign of an improving hoof. 

Simon is next up, and again I will contrast one foot to keep the number of photos manageable. 

Funky foot, but his landing has definitely improved and I am happy that his frog is therefore getting better stimulus. 

As with L, the stripe helps to orient the angle of change - this is a foot which is loading more caudally than it used to. 

Again, sorry about the angle differentiation, and the changes are not particularly dramatic at the moment but I am happy with how he is landing so far and I am looking forward to seeing how he compares in another 4 weeks.
