Time for more updates, it is 8 weeks since Jack arrives which has gone incredibly quickly. He had come out of shoes only a couple of weeks before he arrived and has made good progress since coming to us.
There is a lot of hoof growth still to come for him; the original photos are at the top and the most recent ones below.
I am pleased that his frog is developing and his toe is shortening. The back of his foot is also considerably more developed.
You can see that his heels were under-run relatively in the top photo (compare the hairline angle and you can see what I mean) but on a horse with a lot of feather you can only see that properly from this angle.
As he is quite a hairy horse the side angle does not show us what is happening as clearly as the other photos but its still useful to check his stance.
As with the left, much better from the solar angle which is good to see.
Again a better hairline and more developed frog. His footage will follow and I will post that on Instagram.
