97. Spices Barefoot Trim

Today i had a barefoot trimmer come to trim Spices hooves as i thought that her lameness could be partly due to her hooves being imbalanced. Although the trim has definitely made her more comfortable she is still lame unfortunately :( so it could be that another abscess is brewing or that she has some bruising. The barefoot trimmer advised me not to ride her barefoot on hard ground for at least 6 weeks until the soles have had a chance to thicken up so it looks like i am bound to the yard. However, in a sense this isn't a bad thing as i really need to do some schooling with Spice having not done any in ages. The good news is our jump set just arrived so we now have a jumping arena, and round pen which gives us more to do. The barefoot trimmer did say I could hack Spice out using hoof boots so i am going to see if the ones my friend has will fit her tomorrow and if they do then i should still be able to hack out as normal.
