Potential Hoof Problem


I was out feeding dinner to Kid and Rupert this evening and noticed a big crack in Rupert's left hind hoof. I took a picture of the hoof and have sent off to Andrea the wonderful trimmer. She's going to get back with me later to see how we need to proceed. Update: Andrea is coming out this afternoon to have a look at the hoof. After reviewing it again last night, it doesn't look as bad as we thought. Rather than a crack, we just have a big chunk coming off.

Update to Update: It turned out to be a cosmetic chip that pretty much disappeared after trimming his hooves.
