I have Hawthorne hoof packing coming today so I plan to pack his hooves and keep him in for the night with that. So… I have a big show coming up in two weeks. I’ve hopped on him just to see how he is twice since then (he was jogging sound again) but under saddle he’s still off–no longer head-bobbing lame but definitely a little short and NQR. Farrier tested his hooves and said he was sore all around, but no heat or swelling anywhere. Since then I’ve been doing Farrier’s Fix every day and resting him, though he’s still getting turnout. So he’s been fine up until two weeks ago, when he went suddenly very lame (at a show, of course, so I scratched–the warmup was on very hard ground in a field, don’t know how he would have looked in the actual ring footing). The pasture he’s in is pretty hard and rutted, and he’s out all night. But in the summer, he usually has a brief spell of footsoreness, usually right after his first trim once the ground has hardened.
