All three of my horses have WLD and Thrush. They are being treated for it with Hooflex Thrush Remedy and my stallion is also on DuMour Hoof Supplement (and, when the catalogues come in, I plan on ordering some White Lightening and maybe some Hoof Rx Spray or CleanTrax) and they are on an eight week schedule with a barefoot trimmer (though she's said that my gelding and mare might be able to be put on a twelve week schedule and my stallion might have to be put on a six week schedule).
Anyway, today was their first barefoot trim and I was wondering how it looked... The trimmer said that it will take a few trims to get their hooves back looking great, as she had to cut out a lot of seperation and hoof wall... and my stallion's coffin bone in one of his front hooves points slightly more downwards than what is normal, but the trimmer said we can probably get that fixed later on and it's not bothering him...
So... here are the hooves! I will spread them with out over a few posts, since I have a lot of pictures...
