We think we've got it now... Lottie seems to get a little footie, and particularly on the right fore, about two to three weeks after our trimmer has been.
That's not to say we think it is something the trimmer could prevent but that the right fore seems to struggle more than the others. This is less dramatic each time and only seems to last for a day or so now. About now is when she appears to be at her best... 3-4 weeks after her trim.
Considering the mud both of the girls are doing well. A friend who has recently qualified as a trimmer commented on Lottie's together/clean frogs. Her horse is out 24/7 on a flat field and she was wondering whether our hilly field and being in over night has allowed the frogs to maintain some shape and stay free from bugs. She has another client at the barn across the way from us on the same deal (hilly field/in at night now) and her horses too have good looking frogs. Her other client also feeds Simple Systems so who knows what the difference that makes the difference might be!
We've also kept on with the foot wash and white line balm, although not nearly as regularly as before! Leg washing is soon to become part of the daily routine again so foot washing will be an easy and natural extension of that I suppose!
