Back In Training:

Shown here the first post hoof repair workout with Art galloping riderless behind a buddy just before sundown Sunday. The paddock is still dried crusted mud.

Several quandries and unknowns from the patch job shown last post. Will it hold without cracking the Equilox? Will it hold when wet weather expands the hoof?

Then, I'd like to spend a day as an atom of cornified laminae situated directly beneath that double patch to feel the pressure of the patch, the heat generated, the irritation from the toxic material of the Equilox (barred from air travel), and also whether the Equilox will slide on down to the ground surface as the coronary band produces more horn. Lot's of questions.

But, right now, the patch holds and we're officially back "in training".
