James' update comes today, again with apologies for the delay and the photo quality - I am using a substitute camera which is not as good as my normal one.
However, you can clearly see the new hoof growth - the ridge is most likely when his shoes came off and his nail holes have now completely grown out.
James' landing was flat/toe first and has only just started to improve so his frogs are still looking quite weak but his comfort levels are building and he is becoming more confident on hard surfaces which is good to see.
This is still a somewhat crushed digital cushion but it is starting to look less pinched as his landing improves.
Again, a clear new angle of growth and a better stance.
His heels are also a little less under-run and both frog strength and concavity should continue to develop now his landing is heel first.
James' footage is here - his stride is still shorter than it will be eventually but his landing is more confident:
