Re: [RC] Horse's Feet - Mike & Kathy KellyMy horse got a horizontal "crack" or stress ring after I left his toe too long on a front hoof. The crack was just a 1/3 ring in the front (it didn't continue around to the sides). I felt just sick about it, he got it doing a 50 and finished just fine, was never off on it, but it had to have caused some discomfort. It grew out in 6 mos (his hooves grow really fast) with no further problems.

When we did Alma (I'm in SA) the vet asked if my horse had been sick in the last two months. He said that the hoof showed him the horse was sick. I have never heard this before, is it true? Howard (?) called it a 'stress ring', but there was nothing new with him appart that we started doing LSD and road work. He always wears shoes and the program is the same that I have been doing since 2001. Can anyone give some insight please?
