Notes: Back to the daily hike N ride routine after a week off. I figured I'd fallen far enough behind I'd have a heart attack climbing Steele Hill. I did not and neither did Jack. He went the entire way barefoot. When I first started walking him around the loop on a gravel road - I had to boot him up. I eventually got to where I booted just the fronts...then the fronts half way/barefoot half the way. It bothers him a little going down steep hills. The butcher shoer that crippled him a couple years ago cut into the pedal/coffin bone. Keeping him barefoot and using Scoot Boots seems to be helping him back on the road to recovery....slowly.
I didn't take any pictures other than this one of the adorable little filly born just up the road at Butlers.
