Are they horizontal cracks? We had a problem with that on one of
our mares. Our farrier suggested putting venice turpentine right in the
cracks. It sure has helped.
I have a 10 year old TB/Quarterhorse that has
had 2 foals in the last 3 years. During the last pregnancy she
developed rings on her feet. What would cause these? They are on
all four feet but more so on the front two. No lameness has ever been
present that I have noticed...never off her feed.
She was eating a 14% protein feed and getting
free choice costal hay. Mineral was free choice also. The foal
has been weaned since April. She is now getting Complete Advantage,
soaked beet pulp, a biozin supplement and Fast Track probiotics plus coastal
hay free choice.
