Hello tack room chums. Looking for some advice.
My former racehorse has been lame in front on and off since January...beginning of March he was X rayed because the pain was in his feet and we thought it was pedal osteitis. It isn't but the xrays showed his sole on his near fore is appallingly thin and the pedal bone looks like it is touching it!
Shoes are off, he has been trimmed by a podiatrist and he is in day and night, thick pads taped to his feet and being walked out in hand. He is such a good patient.
Has anyone had experience of this? I can't imagine how he will ever improve.
I am also looking for hoof boots but because his feet are wider than they are long, I can't find any to fit!
