I know it's a done deal -- I love these guys hopelessly (thinking about third!) even though I am begginning to suspect Bo has more problems with his hooves than his previous owner has let on. This just judging from what I saw before he came here and what has happened since. Do you think that stifle lock and being prone to laminitis can be connected? He is still not wanting to put all his wieght on the right hind which is the one that locked, and in trimming him I noticed some odd things with his hooves (lots of dirt up in the white line and now the sole pushing down where it shouldn't, only up near the toe - maybe I am over reacting??) and the dirt in the white line I noticed before he came here. He is improving slowly and I have hopes that I can help correct this thru research,trimming and excersise, plus consultation with vet and farrier. I don't think I could give him up now if I tried - even if he is only my walking companion!
