New boy Chester arrived yesterday - he will be known as Cheshire Chester on the blog, as there was another horse called Chester here last year, but he came from Sussex :-)
Cheshire Chester has feet which don't look too bad but - like most of the horses who come here he has a toe first landing and has had recurrent lameness which blocks to the palmar hoof and which has not improved despite various drug therapies and remedial farriery.
This is his lamest foot and its also the foot with the worse landing. If you compare with the LF its clear its also more under-run with less depth at the heel.
More on Cheshire Chester over the next few weeks.

And what's the betting that his odd front on stance disappears too???

He certainly wasn't standing well on Sunday when I took these photos but he already seems to be happier to stand square so it may have just been that he was a bit unsettled when he arrived - I hope so anyway :-)
