Re: [RC] Horse's Feet - heidiMy horse also has rings around his hoofs on both his front feet. 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? Not necessarily sick, but definitely something happened there. I've seen more than a handful of horses that have one for each endurance ride they've been to. As Maggie said, nothing to worry about in and of itself. Heidi ============================================================ The whole ride experience can be very hard, and at times you question why you put yourself through such abuse. But then you remember all those moments when you pop up over a hill and are suddenly surrounded by the most stunning views. It's just you and your horse and for a moment time stops and you can hear the angels sing. Therein lies the addiction, at least for me. ~ Leslie Beyers ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ============================================================
