I don't know how you pulled him, av, but I find I do a lot less damage if I put the loop of the pulling chains just above the pastern joint, then give it a half hitch just below the joint. This evens out the strain pretty good, and very seldom hurts them. Just my 2 cents.

My experience with the sore front feet: splint them and they'll be better in a week. Do nothing, they'll be better in 7 days.
