It didn't look pretty in the process, but it was worth the hard work (on the client's part) and the wait (all of us) - she now has a "proper" foot again!

I appreciate working with every single one of you and your equids and hope to continue to do so in future 🙂

This gives food for thought. We should always keep an eye on any changes with our equines to make sure we can act quickly if things become more difficult for them 🙏
