feet

Turned him out in the midday, after the rain stopped. Fed him lunch and watched him stand with one front foot up. I had a few minutes and it was warm & sunny, so I grabbed my tools and trimmed his front hooves a bit. They've been neglected a LONG time, at least 6 months is my guess, and the bars had grown over the sole quite a bit. I trimmed away some excess toe, rounded it off and trimmed the bars down. That's enough for one day. Wish I'd taken "before" photos, but we can get some of the back feet.
