Great Strides

Tackling the hinds Taking it slow and easy, wiggling the leg and talking to Jester as he munched his bermuda hay in a sloppy stall, I was able to remove excess bar on BOTH hinds today! I could see why he's been so uncomfortable on the right hind- he was walking on bars which protruded above the sole down to even with the frog tip. Nip-nip, scrape-scrape, easy boy.... let him rest the leg. Again and again, then I saw a bit of sole at the toe flaking off... just a thin layer, so I took a few swipes with the knife and let it be. The toe is now backed up properly and I feel I have finally given him a proper start. Repeat all steps on left hind. Jester was a good boy- but still hurts in the hindquarters. Watch for photos!
