Lavinia,

I trimmed Merlin yesterday. I had asked for advice 3 weeks ago, but I know there are horses  that are more acute than Merlin and need immediate attention.  He continues to be in his cloud boots 24/7. He has been having some tenderness ever since his capped elbow, which has flared up 3 times now. the last being about 3 weeks ago. He seems to be better on the tenderness aspect.  I have ordered Jiaogulan for him, since his sole remains thin. I should be starting that this week. I am certain more toe needs to come back, but I am getting leary on how far to come back. I do not want to get into live tissue. 

Thank you in advance!!
