After seeing 2 vets and 2 farriers within the week, Emeries is finally rideable again (he was getting a little cranky- he likes to work). Between the vet and the farrier, they cut off the horizontal crack and discovered that the damage was limited and he still had a heel. It doesn't look pretty (especially with Copertox on it), but we were able to put a new shoe on with a clip to help attach it. He also got shod on the back feet.
I finally got to ride him again and we had a low-key trot and walk session. He seemed a little off after a week off and a stressful afternoon. Lesson tomorrow and then Kelsey will ride him.
