Two weeks in

Mugshots from week two (and a bit!!)

Left fore







Right fore






Interesting to note the event lines.  The mark almost half way down started when her remedial shoeing began in August.  There is also a big line emerging near her coronary band, from around the time she had her coffin joints medicated with corticosteroids and her shoes came off.  I'm not sure if this second line is due to the endocrinological challenge of the steroids or the changing biomechanics of her hooves without shoes.  Any thoughts?

I suspect we have the start of some thrush in the frog of her left fore so I have commenced treatment for this. The heel and solar shots still show how horrible her mediolateral balance is.  No wonder her medial collateral ligaments have gone caput.
