The neck and tail head are two red flag, bad fat, areas, but he is definitely improving.<br />So glad to hear Connor had chipped feet too. Comrade is not one I trim, and her regular farrier has been injured, so seeing such a change in his feet worried us. Out of four Cobs, he was the only one to be that short. As long as he grows we can avoid shoes.Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13675631291488697042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6807380258442769826.post-39014922356014564442013-08-05T12:41:13.399-04:002013-08-05T12:41:13.399-04:00Always interesting to see conformation shots of Co...Always interesting to see conformation shots of Comrade and comparing and contrasting! He's definitely looking a lot slimmer. His hind end gives me the impression that there's still some spongy fat up there too, (thought I can't see it) so I wouldn't worry too much about the crest - it will probably steadily disappear as you continue to change his feed and muzzle him. Air ferns are almost harder to manage!<br /><br />Connor's feet looked like hell recently too, for the first time they chipped and he even lost some hoof wall. It was because he went six weeks and it was so wet the first four and SO dry the last two. It's just this crazy summer we're having, Lisa's ponies have such good feet, Comrade's will come right back.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04292565760924146966noreply@blogger.com
