I'm sure it varies, but in general how long to fully correct? I had a colt born in Feb. and he was back on his heels pretty good. He had his first trim about 2 weeks ago. My regular farrier refused to trim him so I found a new farrier. After his first trim he was still rocking back quite a bit more than I expected. I've been turning him out during the day in our sand paddock as I thought this would help strengthen the tendons. When I put him on a solid surface two days ago I noticed that on each step he was stepping down correctly on his foot and then rocking back. He was trimmed again this morning and I was so excited to see him standing today upright and correct for the first time since he was born. I know we're making progress and he'll get there I just want to make sure I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing. He is a super tiny gorgeous colt.
How long does it take to fully correct? My new farrier is still learning minis and we're trying to determine an appropriate trimming schedule for him. I think the two weeks we went this time was just a little too long.
Thankyou,
