Continued success

Not much time to ride, but anytime I saddle up Taffy is ready, no boots needed. I have started free jumping her- she has a great motor!

As for her hooves- routine maintenance is enough, with emphasis on lowering the lateral heel on the fores, as the collateral groove on that side remains deeper thanthe medial. Her coronet has widened, which I believe indicates a downward migration relative to P1 and P2. This is terrific- the bony column is raising up to its healthy level relative to the coronet. The hoof wall will appear shorter- more natural! There is only about half an inch of toe wall left from last May- almost a complete new hoof in less than a year woo hoo!

She does wear off the hind toes more than I like- I need to increase the breakover bevel.

Spring shedding in full swing... Barbecue grill cleaning blocks work great for shedding :)

My favorites of the WP jog

Is this what they mean when they say "flat kneed"? Ok, so I overdid the drape rein a bit... she felt so soft and round I couldn't help it.

progress towards softness- what a delight

Soft as silk

Not a bad step in months now. The thrush flares up when it's too wet. No Thrush is working great. Best product for thrush control I've ever used.
Got some nice lope work in last weekend-using the copper jointed mouth curb. It's a forgiving bit for us and she got nice and light by the end of the workout. Such fun!
