He's not out of the woods yet...so don't start celebrating.  Regrowing a 
hoof is a tricky business because it not only has to grow out,
it has to be strong enough to support his weight....not just standing 
still, but moving around...it's tricky enough that most horses
who founder aren't even given the chance.........
          we had a gorgeous chestnut colt in our barn at one time whose 
stupid owner bought him, cut him, and tossed him into a
truck to be shipped to us...over 1000 miles.........of course, the colt 
foundered in two feet........we did give him a chance to
regrow his hooves.........and they grew, but they were never 
right.........and the colt was useless, of course..........so had to
be put down............
         I think I said it before:  don't count your chickens 
here.......just keep praying and hoping..........
