Still not got his hinds on today, so waiting till farrier comes this week and see if we can figure out if he is hurting or if he is being awkward. He lifts his fronts which is where he has arthritis, but it is the hinds that are the issue, but i suppose that would put more weight on the fronts. He needs his boots on to be ridden so he knows he is going out. Usually when he has them taken off, he lifts his foot no bother.....hard to read.
