Re: [RC] Question - hoof crack to hairline? - Ericka Nelson
Yes, I did have that happen. The train of
thought was that it was caused by improper shoeing. I put a special goooo
on it once a day and it grew out and you'd never know it happened. My vet
said "as long as he's not lame, it'll be ok". So, is your horse
lame? Mine wasn't. BTW...the goooo was equal parts of pine tar,
neets foot oil and Risen(not sure of spelling there). Got that recepi from
a long time rider who used to work at the race track. I used a brush to
apply.
Does
anyone have any experience with a horse with a crack in the hoof going all the
way up to the hairline? (front hoof) Will it eventually grow out? Can it
cause soundness
problems? Thanks Naomi
