Jeep does not appear to be in pain nor does he have any problems stepping out. He does require specials shoes to illeviate any discomfort he may have.
All veterinarian records are on file.
Jeeps Jumper days are over. He would make a wonderful show horse as he is serviceably sound for riding "on the flat", but absolutely no jumping. He requires shoes, with pads. An intermediate/experienced rider required.
