I felt dreadful, but he was sound again within a few days, so it was better than a re-strain of the collateral ligaments, thank goodness.<br /><br />Ccptrayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06564275580390738561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8415492346905673232.post-54121515985930426102012-01-09T11:16:56.139+00:002012-01-09T11:16:56.139+00:00Its not so much the leverage on the white line whi...Its not so much the leverage on the white line which causes problems I suspect as strain on the collateral ligaments - sometimes, because the hoof capsule is the most visible thing, we need to remember that with these horses we are dealing with primarily soft tissue injuries!Nic Barkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06885459438592023135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8415492346905673232.post-88148668337482314582012-01-08T22:20:30.853+00:002012-01-08T22:20:30.853+00:00He's the kind of horse who can badly lame hims...He's the kind of horse who can badly lame himself if he does too much with a long toe levering itself against the white line, when that extreme angle change grows down a bit further, isn't he? Like Campero did when I let him have a hooley too soon! I know you won't be making that mistake Nic.<br /><br />Ccptrayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06564275580390738561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8415492346905673232.post-73252025479006615932012-01-05T20:40:31.270+00:002012-01-05T20:40:31.270+00:00I wondered if it was the lighting or the hoof, but...I wondered if it was the lighting or the hoof, but I've seen it on many neglected/recently deshod hooves so assumed. I will send you some info on what I've learned about abscesses soon. Getting ready for a trip to Costa Rica to trim horses there...if you can believe that! I can barely. I do have an article I wrote a while back on my website, www.heelfirstlandings.com, and most the info is there, but I do need to do some updating to that one. I think I also duplicated it on the non-profit site wwww.rainierhoofrehab.com. I love reading you blog and appreciate the work you put into it, uploading and explaining pictures. I know how time consuming that can be. I should be doing more of that too, but yes, time-consuming! Thanks! Nic!

You are dead right, though about sole necrosis being common - many horses come here with black areas on the sole which gradually improve over time.Nic Barkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06885459438592023135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8415492346905673232.post-21308200686011436732012-01-05T17:54:37.316+00:002012-01-05T17:54:37.316+00:00Nic, you're so right that the wedges create an...Nic, you're so right that the wedges create an illusion of a corrected hoof, while nothing is corrected. Support without strenthening. I wish more farriers and vets could get that concept. The front half of his sole appears to have lost circulation in the solar papillae and has turned black. I have a theory about abscesses Nic, that I would like to run by you to see what you think about it and possible help me with my research on them. Good job on Ted!<br />PatPathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02305775472162422744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8415492346905673232.post-75388870850963482002012-01-05T13:54:56.823+00:002012-01-05T13:54:56.823+00:00No matter how many times I see the pictures of how...No matter how many times I see the pictures of how the new hoof wall grows in at such a radically different angle, it never ceases to amaze me.
