Since Eli has come home, we've had 4 trims at some odd intervals because he's lost a front shoe (or both) before his next appointment. Despite how bad that sounds, he is keeping his shoes on much better than the original set he came with. All of his list shoes revolved around him doing something dumb outside at the 4ish week mark in the cycle. We're aiming to do his fronts on 4 week cycles to keep the shoes on, and his hinds on 5 to 6 week cycles because they seem to be in better condition.

The visible changes aren't as drastic anymore, but we still have plenty to do. We're still dealing with the shape of his hooves at the very bottom, which is from when his toes were allowed to grow way too long so the angle is messed up.
Hooves are a long road, but we're getting there. It'll be interesting to look at these with a year's worth of pictures!
LOOOOVE these progress shots. the last set is really astounding - hes grown so much of the bad angle out already!! i bet in 2 cycles you'll be able to lop that last little piece of crap off :P
ReplyDeleteThe progress his feet have made is great!
