Kashmir has been trimmed today and there was some blood showing in the white line in all four hooves. He is not IR. I would like to know reasons for this as I understand that blood in the white line

I have condensed all photos into one file with rads, and edited the folder title to reflect that. I deleted the extra folder. -- Kate and Bunny (Irish Draught broodmare PPID) and Lacey (Irish Draught

Hello, Takoma's front hooves have always had a multitude of problems. Believe it, or not, they were at one time even worse than this. I don't know that anyone has ever known what to do to help him,
