Cowboy

2004 Appendix gelding

Initial Assessment

Cowboy wore shoes for about a year.  It's likely that prior to that, he simply hadn't finished developing; the hooves are not usually fully developed until the horse is 6 years old.  Shod at three, that maturation has been stunted, but it shouldn't take long to reverse the damage done to date. 

Trim Notes

Cowboy's heels have already opened noticeably.
