Taffy has grown completely new hoof wall- in less than 1 year. I have to keep the bevel (mustang roll) refreshed every 3-4 weeks to avoid chipping and peeling. Slight tenderfooting over large gravel, frog sulci still deeper than I like after all the winter moisture.
Taffy got her spring vaccinations and check up recently- I shared with the vet that she had been treated for navicular pain in the past, and how I had transitioned her with boots, pads, movement, diet, and trim technique. His first impression was that she had little feet (genetic), but that her angles looked good and he said I was doing a good job.
Nice to have some professional encouragement !!!
