Farrier came out to farm today and re-set shoes in the stall. Kept injured leg as close to the ground as possible and also made sure not to pull it out from his body. Spread heels in the back to support rear legs. Removed the front shoes and trimmed them to correct angles.
Pretty sore and tired after shoeing. Gave 2 grams bute tonight and will give 2 more in the morning for comfort. Rear pasterns are a little swollen, probably from standing still for a while.
