Baron
23 yr old QH gelding
Initial Assessment
Baron's feet will take some time to heal, with his thin, shelly wall,
rotting sole and frog, and a prior diagnosis of navicular changes. As
soon as his shoes were pulled, he was reluctant to weight his right
front heel.
Recommendations
Aggressive hygiene: chlorine dioxide soaks twice weekly until frog and
white line health improve. Diet assessment.
Trim Notes
07-02-08
Baron shed out a lot of very poor quality sole on that right front
immediately. I did a conservative setup trim, and fitted Baron with
boots and pads.
07-31-08
Well, they're not much to write home about yet, but compared to a
month ago, Baron's feet are looking good! Wall quality has already
improved. Baron shed quite a bit of sole, and his frogs already look
better, after just one chlorine dioxide treatment.
09-03-08
BIG improvement! Hoof wall quality looks great; sole is healthy and
building depth; frogs are MUCH healthier! Go, Baron!!!
