Hi Trish, At first, I felt the lower line was incorrectly placed because I was thinking it should follow along the shoe surface. Well, that was up and until I...
I ditto what Risa has written. Post pics showing the hooves. I couldn't begin to imagine why your horse is doing what its doing without seeing his feet. Tree...
As I'm envisioning the action of a hoof I am seeing that with shoes that keep the heels and frog off the ground, the entire foot descends much farther than it...
Hi Trish, I am not seeing how the coffin bone was elevated to + 5 degrees. It is still a negative angle relative to the distal border of the hoof as Tree...
... It is still a negative angle relative to the distal border of the hoof as Tree noted below. Is there a plastic wedge on the bottom of the hoof too? If...
Tree - the red lines are mine....and so doing, might not be totally 'on the money.' did you look at the xray without the lines? maybe you'd be better at ...

TERRIFIC explanation Gwen!!! thank you. going along with what you wrote - this would also explain the prolapsed frogs that my horse had...frogs trying ...
"As a result, the P3 is allowed to descend further in the heel region of the foot than nature intended and thus, you get a negative angle. (Plus a whole lot of...

Not to worry, Trish. You just proved something to me that I wasn't sure about. Do list members get deleted posts? Evidently, yes. :-) My next question is,...
Tree ... I know you're not trying to cause trouble but this is what I've learned from different sources. Gene Ovnicek teaches about the DC sling; I forget...
Gwen - perhaps you are thinking about the fact that the frog tissue is of a high water content, this is not the same thing as fluid. Risa ... <caballus@c...>...
I know the frog is 60% water-- but I know I also read about the DC having more "fluid" in it other parts of the hoof ... I just have to find out where. I...
Sure - actually the frog is about 50% water content ( Adams's ) making it softer than other parts of the hoof, it should probably be termed moisture content...
Hi Risa, This would explain why DC's, when removed from a dissected foot, aren't dripping. When we've performed the "splat" test, they don't express any...

I'm kind of picturing this DC sling like a bedspring. A bedspring will hold up the mattress all day with no tension at all. It just rests there holding up...

Hi Janice and welcome. :-) I think it's safe to assume that because the cracks have remained for so many years, the efforts, thus far, to deal with them have...
