I was once told here in Nor Cal that my mare had white line. It turned out
it was something called sandy foot??? and looks like white line. As far as I
know White Line is HIGHLY CONTAGIOUS. If one horse has it it can pass on the
soil, let alone hoof picks to all other horses. So if your horse in Oregon
has WL and none of the others do it is probably something else. \

Again I may be wrong on this but this is the common understanding in this area.

Good luck!
