165. Spices 6th Barefoot Trim!

Today, Spice had her hooves trimmed for the 6th time and i am pleased to say that the barefoot trimmer said they are looking better than ever. It's been exactly 5 months now since i first took Spices shoes off so in 4 months she will have grown a whole new hoof since last being shod. Her frogs have almost doubled in size and she is starting to achieve more concavity. My barefoot trimmer even said that she didn't think Spice would need hoof boots for hacking out but after what happened last time with the abscess i would not be confident enough to let her go out unprotected (at least not until her soles have really thickened up.) So, at least in the short term i will use hoof boots. She was an absolute sweetheart having her hooves trimmed even with the flies landing on her every 2 seconds, i was very proud of her manners.
