do you have "after" xrays??

Yup, they are on page two. Some people can't see any difference at all but I can deffinatly tell that it worked. The farrier was out a little while ago and he said that I couldn't have hoped for a better recovery,

and that he can't even tell the had a club. My farrier is aces!

Oh my giddy aunt! I would have had kittens watching him loon around like that after all your hard work! Thank goodness he did not do himself a mischief on his first turnout.
The way I saw it there was no chance of weaning him to turnout, as soon as he gets in a slightly larger pen he tries to run around. That only puts more stress on the legs since it is tight turns in a small space. This way he had more room for course corrections and more time to slow down. He was also banging his legs against the stall and his run, that was what I was really worried about

he pulled a stich when he was doing that and I didn't want a repeat. It was a calculated risk, we were over two months out, the vet said go for it and everything worked out,

I knew there was no way he would go quietly. :

Honestly, any worry I had was very minimal. Before his surgery he would go running around there like there was no tommrow :

, he knows that pasture like the back of his hand (so to speak). He is a very sure footed little guy, very aware of his feet.
I stood out there and just laughed as he was having so much fun. :lol: He came up to blow in my face and ran off again, I think it was a thank you.

Thank you all for your support through this!

Luckyrider, he should have his tire back soon.
