Essy's words to Margrit inlcuded 'he has pain in his feet especially his right foot'. Listening to this and watching him shift his weight and position backwards the EXACT same time he told us, we agreed it was time to get his feet x rayed.
Here we are one week later, standing like the perfect gentleman on his wooden blocks surrounded by cords and machinery to take the all important slides.
The result? Bone definition and joints are good, no sidebone or navicular issues apparent. However, his right foot is very upright with some toe of the coffin bone undergoing some re-modelling. The Navicular on this foot looks like it too is experiencing some minor changes.
Knowing Essy he feels any change in his body so I suspect his message to us was a) an early warning and b) a response to an internal adjustment process he is experiencing.
Next step: share the X rays with Essy's farrier (done today) and gradually lower his right heel over time.

Seems Mr Esquire knows his own mind or at least his own feet!
