Update on Slim, the guy needing foot work!

Dixiefordgurl · 03-27-2009, 09:10 PM

HI everyone! I asked for help a little bit ago about Slims feet. Well, He trotted for the FIRST time and I cried!! Farrier says he MUSt be walked everyday... and I have 2 minis that I got that are fat... and 2 beagles that have too much energy. So this is what I came up with and it works. PLEASE no bashing... I know the pros and cons. They all (including the dog) know Whoa, walk and trot... we are learning Gee and haw!! LOL

We walk all the way up that feild twice a day and back!!

See he is getting BETTER!!

Ohhhh yeah his feet look much better. He's adorable. I'm assuming he foundered?

So, you are a combination horse/dog whisper? To get those critters to lead like that?

Love it, just love it!!! Gave me a chuckle too.

Good luck with your exercise regimen. That is just way too cute.
