Hoof Soundness Problems

 

 

   
 

I want to start by saying it can often be hard to differentiate hoof soundness problems and higher up problems – and I am sure a lot of them go hand in hand.  Nothing beats a thorough veterinary exam by a highly experienced vet.  I generally do some real simple tests to help me help my clients narrow down their issues and help determine their need for more follow up help.

Generally when I get a new client contacting me because of a soundness issue I hear about one of 3 things – Navicular,  Founder, or just Unknown Hoof Soreness.  I am not a vet and no one should confuse me as such – I am just going to provide some basic information here.
