Sent the latest trim pics - I took them for measurement on boots to verify we were right as we lost a boot at a ride in the mud. I can grab some this weekend of the other views if needed. We did our H

Hey all, So, the final verdict was abscess that blew on his RF at the coronet band in July. Since then, Sully he's been doing pretty well. Been barefoot with boots on front for normal riding, with a s

sorry can't edit my post - I'll add that he has been barefoot since Sept 2017 with no history of soreness after trims from previous owner (June trim and rads were done when he was with her). 11 yr old
