Hi IkeE,

I just read an article that may answer your question(s).

One Foot For All Seasons

Take a look, it's really interesting too.

Other hoof articles by the same author that you may be interested in :

Pete Ramey writes about white line disease thrush navicular disease hoof balance
One of the articles is on hoof casts too.


Hope this helps.
I love getting educated! it takes the big mystery away.
