Speed of growth - how fast is fast enough, matching wear to growth

Rule of thumb, 1cm every four weeks.  Horses with compromised hooves may grow slower.  Some can grow a lot faster.

Photos below are six weeks apart.  Due to adverse weather horse has had virtually no exercise and limited turnout.

Note the event line on the side views and note the decontraction in the solar view.
