All horses are walking better today. The only thing I have done is painted the soles with Venice Turpentine. I have used it before without such dramatic improvement. I’m just happy that we are going in the right direction. Magic seems to be walking normal, something he has not done in a long time. I have never heard of any spring hoof sensitivity but the three geldings I am watching so close sure got sore all at the same time with the only catalyst being a normal farrier visit. I’ve used Dale for over 30 years and he has always been good. The ponies and the mares have not shown any tenderness but they are all out on pasture and not observed so close.
