Some of you will know that I recently bought a Hannovarian gelding with severe laminitis as a project. A few people have asked after him so I've decided to put together a blog to chart his progress. I know everyone loves photos, so I've tried to put some of the gory ones in. Here's where to find it: http://www.unshod.co.uk/articles/fredsblog.phpRichard |

That is absolutely fascinating! I'm going to be keeping my eye on his progress. Have you got any plans for him Richard?

Have you got any plans for him Richard? So far he's not done anything much - just walk trot and canter before he went lame. Unfortunately, we've five horses now which makes Fred the 'one too many' so if I can harden my heart enough, he'll probably eventually be sold on. In the meantime though I plan to have some fun with him. Even with the laminitis, he's got rather nice paces. I fancy seeing whether I can get a Hannovarian to do classical dressage - i.e. actually collect rather than just showing off with extension in the front end. Richard |

Crikey - i can't get over those feet. I admit to being pretty ignorant about laminitis so will follow this with interest. |

Brilliant Blog Richard and thanks for sharing. It's such a great way to learn, to see the decisions you've made and to understand why and when you make them. To have them backed up with photographs is wonderful.
