Millie arrived here earlier this week. She is another Connemara and like Casey arrived having been out of shoes a few weeks.
Millie has a diagnosis of a DDFT tear and navicular bone bruising and over a period of 2 years shoes and pads were not able to help.
As with many horses who have this sort of diagnosis, Millie was put on to limited movement so she was only gradually introduced to our yards and tracks, starting with turn out in our top yard with Felix, who made her welcome with his usual professionalism.
I won't include all her photos here but there is a lot to like about her feet, which have come out of the pads with a healthy frog (great to see). Her heels are long and she is not really engaging her palmar hoof but I will expect to see improvements in her over the next 4 weeks.
