Frodo's Hooves

I thought I'd have a go at posting some photos of Frodo's hooves, which have absolutely transformed since we've been at our new yard.  He had laminitis last summer, and when we arrived here, he was landing "toe first" on his hooves when he walked.  Now, he has super hooves - they've changed in shape so much, and they are free from any kind of ripples in their surface, and he most definitely has heel first landing when he strides...and so far he's "self-maintaining" which means he's moving around enough on different surfaces, in effect, giving them a self-trim as he moves along.
