I have a foundered mare, and I don't touch the sole. I take the heels down and roll the toes. I let the sole do its own thing, and I have never gotten into...

Would it be possible that the dark spots you see are not just natural colour variation in the hoof wall. Are your paint horses hooves all the one colour all...

Very lame on could indicate a hoof abscess that hasn't popped yet. Did the vet go over her hooves with a hoof tester? I have had several horses come up lame...

Hi, Just wanted to say hi and introduce myself. I live in Minnesota, have four horses, one full mustang, one mustang/thoroughbred mare, (daugher of full...
Thanks for all that input! As far as the mare goes, I suspect I'll see an abcess appear before she's sound again. The vet did check her with a hoof tester,...

about three weeks ago my mare developed thrush/fungus in her frog. around the same time these small round holes appeared in the sole (toe area). it's like a...
A "Gravel" can be another word for abscess, so make sure that we are talking about the same thing. I have found that the sole will slough off as a normal...
