I know, right? Fortunately it's either really shallow or just a bruise. I'll post more soon. :0)

Shoes? New trimmer? I know he has cushings but I have to wonder if there is another contributing factor. 3/17/2020 03:52:59 pm
Well, I suppose I could disregard both my vet’s and farrier’s opinions and go with the advice I get on the internet. My vet has had to answer my “are you ABSOLUTELY sure your diagnosis is correct” question at least a dozen times. If you know what else would jack up a nearly 16 year old’s ACTH Levels who is also experiencing frequent hoof infections (presenting as abscesses), I would love to know. Unless it’s cancer; I’ll pass on that. I have consulted my vet, my farrier, and Google so many times now that I am sure their eyes roll when they see my number on their caller ID.

About the Writer and RiderI am a lifelong rider.
I began endurance riding in 1996 where I ultimately completed five, one-day 100 mile races, the 200-mile Death Valley Encounter, and numerous other 50, 65, and 75 mile races. I began showing dressage in 2010. Welcome to my dressage journey. About Speedy GSpeedy went from endurance horse to dressage horse. After helping me earn a USDF Bronze medal in the summer of 2020, he is now semi-retired. Speedy is a 2004, 15'1 hand, purebred Arabian gelding. His Arabian Horse Registry name is G Ima Starr FA.
About IzzyIzzy was started as a four-year old and then spent the next 18 months in pasture growing up. I bought him as a six-year old, and together, we are showing at the lower levels. He is a 2008, 16'3 hand warmblood gelding. His Rheinland Pfalz-saar International (RPSI) name is Imperioso.
