2015 - 2023. It took about 3 years to make a sustainable fix for this NPA hind (trimming to build soft tissue). We (Promise, his owner, and I) have maintained it with continual improvements for the last 5 years. He’s in his early twenties now with better feet than he had in his early teens.

The horn tubules and growth rings make an obvious grid on most feet at most stages of development. In my opinion, this grid is more reliable for assessing hoof capsule distortion than radiographs. It’s also more convenient and free.
