March 2004 - After 2nd trim:

NOTES:  One heel hook is partially removed (on left side of photo) and the other was completed after photo. Notice a bit of widening of the frog and heel bulbs. Also, white line is tighter than a month ago. I would still like to see a wider, rounder hoof for the fronts and will work on this next month. Pony is 100% sound.

UPDATE AS OF OCTOBER 2004

 

Pony is doing wonderfully at the walk/trot/canter as well as small jumps. Pony was confirmed "Cushings" at 87. She is on a regulated, specific diet that includes "Chasteberry" as a natural alternative to Pergolide.  Pony is in good muscle, coat and hooves are strong and healthy.  The photos to the left and below are from the last trim in October, 2004.
