Day of arrival:

​

Louie is here with us to undergo some rehabilitation regarding his 'grass-affected' related behavioural issues, specifically surrounding being explosive under the saddle and issues with his back end. His owner also had his shoes removed 2 weeks prior to his arrival so he could be rehabilitated with us. 

16th of August, 2022 - before first trim:

 

We have discovered that Louie has some deep sulcus thrush in his one back hoof and is experiencing some heel pain caused by his contracted heels. Due to a combination of issues including heel pain, he is experiencing some stiffness, soreness and tightness through his back end. His movement is quite short and tight because of this.
