Alicia speaking this time... (I know, you can hardly believe it, Jackie probably fell out of her chair!)... but what's really hard to believe - its been SIX months since I brought the freaked out baby stallion home...what a difference six months makes.
I went by Jackie's place last week to trim her horses hooves, including Doc's, whoops...I meant Huckleberry...reminds me of pie... maybe we could call him Pie... anyway, his toes on the front were a mile long and he's sporting horizontal hairlines on all four feet...not good....note to self: trim the horse more often Alicia! Jeez!
And the rest of Huckleberry...WOW! He put on muscle climbing those hills at Jackie's place... he looks great! Even his icky legs look so much better. She's done such a great job!
He was a perfect gentleman while having his front feet trimmed - BIG DIFFERENCE from our last attempt at trimming! He was a pro with the hoofjack. Another big round of Applause for Jackie!!! HOORAY!!!.
He's very 'upright' in the front end, I went after those heels, and was pleased to see a better angle once I was done, with no apparent soreness either. And well the hinds, he can't bring them out behind himself nor up underneath himself, heck he can't even really stand on one at a time, so I am grateful that he does a half way decent job on his own.
He is such a kind and gentle fella...a really nice horse. Kudos to you Jackie, as you are the reason he is so wonderful....truly.
I apologize for no pictures... just wanted to check in... mostly to give big props to Jackie... the hero to all black and white paint horses.
Love ya Jackie Legs!

P.S. We need to test him for HYPP dang it!
