Before and After: Dec 2011 - Mar 2012

First of all, I know that I have only been posting about Ava's feet for a while but there has been a lot of Spring weather here and I can't work with her very much until it gets a little better. I also just recently got sick with a cold or whatever so I have to deal with that too. Being sick is so annoying when you want to be out at the barn without having to sneeze every two minutes...

I wanted to show some before and after pictures of Ava's feet. I just trimmed them a couple days ago and noticed they looked quite a bit better than when we started. So, here we go!

Ava's front feet as of December 2011- I had not done anything with her feet when this was taken, the farrier did this... Almost NO heels!

Here are Ava's front feet as of a few days ago- March 2012. Heels are coming back and her axis is becoming straighter!

Now for her hind feet. This is what they looked like as of December 2011, they actually didn't look as bad as the front.

Here are her hind feet as of a few days ago, March 2012.

Of course there is still room for more improvement but I think they are looking pretty good and heading in the right direction. I heard someone say once, "if they can still walk by the time you're done trimming you most likely did a pretty good job." Haha, always makes me laugh!
