Simon - week 8 comparison

 Time for an update on Simon, who has now been here for 8 weeks. As usual, the original photos are the upper ones and the current photos are the lower ones. 

I really like how much better his frog is on this foot, not only that it is better developed but also allowing his foot to load more centrally. 

You can see that there is new growth coming in at the top of the hoof capsules his hoof is becoming bulkier at the back. 

You can see that he developed a mild grass allergy, which is why this heel is covered in sudocrem, but other than that the digital cushion and frog are better developed and becoming stronger, which is good to see. 

I really like how much better this foot is looking. The points to note are the straighter bars and better frog, evidence of a foot which is loading better, as well as the fact that his heels are further back.

Confirmation from the side view that the back of the foot is getting stronger and functioning better. 

This is whey you need photos from all 3 angles - from here it doesn't look that different, but overall he is doing well and I am pleased with his progress!
