Aries getting his hooves trimmed via grinder while standing on all fours. Aries can technically pick up
all hour hooves for trimming, but its hard for him, so Linda uses the grinder while he stands. He much
prefers it to the traditional method.
That same day Aries had his first chiropractic appointment with Ganelle Dippe. He wasn't sure what to
think at first, but settled right in after a couple of minutes.

Below Aries after his first chiro session. He really is beginning to look like a different horse.

Aries has been here just about 2 months. He has good days and he has not so
good days. This was definitely one of his better days. He was trotting and
sometimes cantering in the arena on this day. He was landing with full weight on
his foundered hoof. I was concerned that he would be lame the next day, but he
was fine. A real testament to "horses know what they can and can not do"

Aries started his J herb about two weeks ago. His first week was a little rough, but the last few days have
been really good. Hes actually been out of his boot in his paddock. And wearing his new horsemoc outside
the paddock, when Elizabeth takes him for walks. Yesterday he was feeling so good, that she had to hold
him back while out walking, and then curtail his walk sooner than he wanted (didn't want to overdue it )
Hes also been on the homeo silicea to help his thrush, so far so good.

Aries healing is speeding along at a rate, that honestly, I didn't even expect. He has now been completely
out of his boot while in his paddock going on one month. When he goes out of his paddock Elizabeth puts
on his horse moc with a new pad in the bottom of the boot. Aries is putting so much of his weight on the
booted hoof that he is going Thur a new pad on each outing. Before, she was able to reuse the pads many
times before needing a new one. Now the pad is completely compressed from his full weight after just an
hour or two of use. Aries is walking farther each time Elizabeth takes him out. Shes also having to do allot
of holding him back. At 18 hands a fast ground covering stride can easily make the human walking with him
have to break into a jog just to keep up
