RE: [RC] another foot question for Kat, or any one else - Karen StandeferFalse sole seems to be an adaptation mechanism for pathology. And, I'm talking about the false sole that is about 3/8" thick and sheds out in big chunks. Typically, it is seen in horses with laminitis where the sole material has also been compromised, possibly by a dropped coffin bone. I don't know that it's necessarily the false sole that makes the horse sore. I think it may be the condition that causes the false sole to be created in the first place. There is not any research that can explain this. But, I've seen it in a lot of horses (also mainly barefoot). If you x-ray the horse, I think you'll find that the distal descent of the coffin bone is more than desired (probably more than 1cm between the hairline and the extensor process of the coffin bone). Another observation: usually when the horse sheds the false sole, the hoof conformation has improved over what it was earlier in the year.

Get very sore from it, too. Barefoot or shod, but worse barefoot. Thanks.
