Sweet Michael, that's exactly what I'm talking about. Now just need something uglier to start with to beat that. Nice work with the concave.
good job Michael. uglier? Blimey I'd have said they were well neglected! So what are you judging? the start? or the difference made?
The difference from start to finish. Michael's is a very good example, but not the worst I've seen. Neglected looking yes, the worst, not quite. I've seen a few lately that make those look short and tidy in the befores.
In that case no point me bothering. The one I've in has been neglected but any worse than that the owner would need to be having to defend why they shouldn't be fined under the Animal Welfare Act 2006
I did one last month that looked deflated and had a serious toe crack. Had to make two nipper runs to trim the hoof because the wall was so flared out.
