New House!

I'm sorry that I haven't been adding as many things to my site of late I have just been in the swing of finding a house to buy. Just had a lot on my plate to organise so I pr0mise once I'm a little more settle there will be more regular updates. If everyone could cross their fingers that the house below in Billingshurst goes through for me in October as I'm very excited. I will keep you informed.

Indie's crack growing down

 

These two pictures are taken exactly 3 months apart. The top one in June and the bottom in September. Indie owned by Debbie and George Howells had knocked his coronary band about 9 months ago. It had formed a little split, this has gradually grown down from the top and the closer the crack gets to the bottom the more extreme it looks. This is a good example of how quickly the hoof capsule regenerates. From top to bottom the hoof takes on average 12 months to re-grow a a whole new hoof wall. So looking at the top picture with the split being half way down this is 6 months after the original damage, and the bottom one 9 months on. So I will add another picture in 3 months time and you shouldn't be able to see any damage at all. So look out for that around Christmas time.
