The donkey from before had his white line come back and get ahead of us. Been five years, and even fairly diligent cleaning couldn't keep it perfect with his already foundered feet. So after the normal things to try to make him comfortable, I checked a spot that looked ok, but it wasn't and so he got resected and his old epona shoes that used to be glued tacked on with silicon padding in the bottom to spread and soften his impacts. The paper is to keep him from being glued to the floor while it cured. This is the start of a six month process of trying to keep the bad stuff killed off while his hoof grows down and hopefully stays tight as it does so.
