I quote extracts from a text received today:
The vet came today to look at [horse] so we could book another MRI..... He was impressed with his feet and said they look much better.... Vet said whatever we were doing it was clearly working!
This horse is out 24/7 in a less than ideal environment and is owned by someone who works full time. I've coached from the sidelines (and trimmed when needed) but the owner has done all the hard work herself.
*Some people sadly leave it far too late

What kind of coaching did you offer?
Boots? Diet changes?
Hi Val - yes, diet change and boots with pads and groovy bed socks.
Encouraged owner to aim for comfy foot steps so that body and mind can heal as well as the hooves.
I love the approach of boy and mind healing along with hooves.
I do think the emotional/mental effect of constant discomfort is so often overlooked.
I agree - I find it interesting and often joyful to see their personalities blossom as the pain recedes.
