Some photographic evidence that I've been on a horse recently! I went for a lovely hack with a friend Jen Reid through a Canyon in Utah. It was stunning.

I have recently spent some time in Utah, and a friend of mine had found this hoof on a mountain. It's incredible the Pedal bone and shoe are still intact!!

I can only guess that it got eaten by another animal.

This is a true example of "Patching something up". This pony has a defect on three feet causing these bad cracks. His work load has increased and due to the stress of Eventing his feet are looking worse nearing the end of the season.

Below you can see I have truly patched him ready for his last event of the year. I will update you over the winter on how well I manage to stabilise them.

Below is some bruising I found on all four feet of a little pony. It's not an area of the heel that touches the ground and it wasn't sensitive!!

Below is a lovely horse bred by Virginia Russell-Wood he has just got a fourth at Horse of The Year Show as well.
