Bring the toes back!

Fronts Complete
 I had Heidi Chartrand come out and do Ace's feet. His toes had gotten SO long and I found myself unable to bring them back with rasping alone on those dry hard summer feet! We took them back fairly drastically, I think we have the first slope angle grown out now. There are still a few more coming down the hoof wall. Not the best photos, should have gone outside for better light, but you get the idea!

We ended up with some inappropriate 1st cut Timothy and his bum has been bad this last month. I do not have access to any more for a bit, so we will be doing Timothy Alfalfa cubes to get us though. I hope this minor dietary hiccup doesn't take us backwards too much in his feet. Heidi had some suggestions for supplements I am willing to try ;)

One done, he is holding his own lead rope ;)




Pretty Toes!
