Left Front

Marshall developed an abscess in his left front hoof end of Oct 2009, which was opened up by a veterinarian. The veterinarian suggested to pack the resulting wound and protect it with a pad & shoe.
Unfortunately this is causing the hoof to contract again. It took about a year for his hoof to open up but only a couple of months to contract
(and distort) the hoof capsule with a shoe once more.
