Denny feet trimmed

The Frog is finally starting to come out. I wish I would of taken pictures at the beginning when I began trimming her in July 2010.I could not get the trimmer to come out .She was last trimmed Nov. of 2009 before I decided to try it myself July 2010.She was still contracted after 2years of trimming by a professional barefoot trimmer and went backwards after not being trimmed for so long. Still have a ways to go. Her feet are very contracted , she has run-under heels, bars need to move back, bulbs need to open and would like to see them get a little rounder.She also has cracks on both front feet.
I am currently trimming her front feet thave have been so contracted since I bought her two professional farriers & a professional barefoot trimmer later and she is finally showing progress. I am trimming every week to slowly change her feet as they grow and they grow fast! I am hoping more riding will slow down the amount of trimming. Praying God gives me wisdom as this is scary to me since I am not a professional and Denny has foundered in the past. Reading up more just purchased another natural trimming book by Dr.Strasser.
Looking at this picture I need to trim some flare on the left side of the picture!
I love to see her foot starting to get round and I actually had to trim a little of her frog which I was so excited compared to having to dig in the hoof to find the skinny little frog deep in the foot. I can't wait until her bulbs start to open up more they are still holding yucky stuff :(
