<<  lameness after raising hoof angles - suspensory? (probably wrong again). 
I 
 remember reading that if a horse takes a bad step where he points his toe 
 while bearing weight he can injure his suspensory. Raising angles would make 
 his toe lower and heel higher ,am I making any sense? Oh well, I'd rather be 
 wrong now than when i'm faced with the actual problem.

Check ligament. When you raise angles, you losen tension on the suspensory 
apparatus. The organs confined by the check ligament (checked) tend to whip 
about, irritating, and sometimes tearing, the check. Hard ground aggravates 
the situation.
