Humphrey

Continuing the log book of our arrivals is Humphrey, the third of the new rehab horses. 

Humphrey has a history of lameness on the RF and MRI showed 2 DDFT tears as well as related navicular bone damage. 

This is his better foot, which by comparison with the RF is more balanced. Its also the foot he is happier to load - in fact it was tricky to get a good photo of his RF on the ground, as you can see below.

His owner commented when we were first in touch that he has "decent" looking feet, which is true, but as we often see with horses who come here its not always the nicest looking feet which function the best. 

By contrast with Poppy, for instance, you might say that Humphrey has the better-looking feet but his landing is worse, as he is actually toe first on both front feet, not just the right.

 We will want to see improvements in his palmar hoof, of course, in the next few weeks so look out for his updated photos in due course.
