Re: [RC] Horse's Feet - Barbara McCraryA horse can develop hoof rings from 1) Illness (usually accompanied by a fever), 2) Abrupt change in feed, 3) Standing in mud all winter, 4) Road founder, and possibly a few other "traumatic" incidents.

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?
