RE: [SPAM] [RC] Separation at the Coronet Band - Karen StandeferGravel is not sand or grit. It's an abcess that exits the coronay band (travels upward). Here is a definition from a farrier glossary: "The infection that gains access to the foot through the white line may travel up the sensitive lamina underneath the hoof wall forming a "gravel" that drains at the coronet." -----Original Message----- owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Truman Prevatt A condition my farrier calls "gravel" is when sand or grit will get between the wall and white line and work it's way up the hoof. It normally has an abscess associated but it may never show lame. One day it will "pop out the top" as a crack. It is common in sandy conditions but it takes months to work its way up and out. The hoof grows out with a blemish and usually there is no problems. No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG.
