He’s really doing great! 4 weeks ago he got his first trim and cleanup by our new trimmer. He had just shed all his sole and frogs so he seemed to be a little thin soled. We used hoof armor and decided to do a rim cast with equicast. He was quite comfortable this way! We did let him move and run a bit in the arena not long after and he looked sound! Buuut a little ouchy the next day. He came back around fine, but that was good info to have. Unfortunately the RF cast came off pretty soon, so we went back to booting. He moves so well in his boots and I believe it will speed things up the more comfortable he is! He walks super confident barefoot on concrete as well as over the gravel driveway, and just recently seems to be turning well barefoot. He will usually always show soreness on a turn and historically this has been a constant problem. So when that improves, things are really looking up.
