Tevya left front from 4-07 to 6-08
Meet Tevya! I began trimming in May of '07 and was presented with the first
films. After a year his toes still appeared too long and I requested films to
gauge sole depth before shortening the heels and toe. The "double sole" is
visible on one but so is the remarkable decrease in rotation!

left-Jenny when she was
first saved and one year
later...not bad
considering it took
Rachel six months to get
her trusting enough to let
me trim her! Only five
trims this year, but she is
coming along great!

Poor Jean, IR, PPID, two club feet, blind in one eye...but still top dog out in the pasture!
She was a rescue and one of the early premarin foals, but thanks to Helen and the PEGASUS
FOUNDATION she has had a home for life and will always hold a special place in my heart.
She is the hardest case I've come across thus far...some things just are and can only be the
best they can be-just for today...new photos will be posted summer 09....Thanks for looking!
