BOTH front feet. Her right front is clubby.
Trim Notes
01-18-2008
4 week photos. Calico has shed most of the flaky, chalky sole, and her
collateral groove height is looking excellent at the frog apex on all
four feet. Collateral groove height at the back of both front feet is
1". Bars on both fronts have straightened noticeably already. Except
for some tenderness on hard/rocky terrain after the rains a couple of
weeks ago, she is comfortable and moving beautifully, decidedly heel
first!

Calico is going beautifully...she even goes out on trail now without
her boots!

I've started giving Calico a small heel bevel and toe
rocker on her right front club foot to encourage her to use that heel
better, and to lengthen the stride on that leg slightly. At 4
weeks, the bevel and rocker are maintaining beautifully.

Calico has really beautiful feet these days. She is 100% comfortable on all terrain!
