After the last farrier visit, Buttercup's front hooves were aligned so that she no longer hops to move. Her back feet will take a bit longer to adjust so as not to damage her tendons.
(She is breaking the crust to get at the soft snow)Her goal is to walk for 20 minutes each day. The first attempt netted 150 feet out and 150 feet back to the barn in the allotted time.
(Chewing on snow)On the second day, the same distance took an hour. She's both sore and testing me, I suspect - but she hasn't tried to bite me, so it's all good.
Yesterday, Dan walked her for twice the distance.
