Update - Had the Vet out to Tom on Monday, I must say excellent service that did not cost the earth. Rung the Vet at 8.00am who is located in Featherston and he was at my paddock by 9.15. He came down to Tom, who was very reluctant to move and inspected his fett. They were not as bad as he was expecting so advised that with careful feet management there is a good chance Tom will recover, but I have to move he away from the boggy soil, that in summer is ok, but in winter is just too wet.
Tom is on a course of bute which has helped a great deal. He is even trying to have mini hoons now, on Thursday morning he was so anxious to get back into the paddock, he stood there nudging the gate, so I let him go and what a show! Front hooves in the air, prancing around and attempting a canter, much to my horror. I told him off for being so silly and told him he shouldn't be doing that, should be taking things easy.
Then yesterday morning again the same sort of thing but only at a trot.
Well here is a photo I took to Tom and my daughter Shannan, who is 5, sharing a secret. Also, some other random photos as well.
