Kim and Dolores,
I will get you a picture as soon as my husband comes home.  I tried 
doing it by myself and it won't work.  You would never know there was a 
problem until you picked up the hoof and started cleaning it out.  At 
that point you can pick between the hoof wall and the sole.  There is a 
gap about 1/4" deep where you can scrap built up dirt and tiny stones 
out.  You can scrape to the point of seeing some white and that is when 
my vet said, that is why it is called white line.
If I took any other picture other then the sole at just the right angle 
so you can see there is a space you would never know there was a 
problem.  In all the information that folks sent me I am starting to 
wonder if I should be calling it WLD.  It seems awfully mild 
comparatively.  Maybe once the farrier pared away some of the wall then 
you could see there was something going on.
