My family comes from old time farming and vets were a luxury. When our horses came down with those cracks we used copper-sulfate and packed the crack & holes after we cleaned it THROUGHLY. Soak the hoof first after cleaning and the pack with crystal copper-sulfate and cotton balls to keep the crystals in place. Clean & soak every other day until crack grows out. This works amazingly!

You do a very neat job, wish our farriers would take as much care as you do! A horse nutritionist once told me that seedy toe can sometimes be caused, or at least exacerbated, by too much sugar not being balanced out by other vitamins or minerals, especially in horses who are prone to founder. No idea if it's true or not, just putting it out there. If the cause is fungal I guess too much sugar could make the environment favourable for fungus to grow. If the young owner is anything like my autistic son, he'll sneak down to the paddock and load the horse up with way too many sugar cubes!

all the ground pressure on that excessive wall is likely what caused the white line stretching that opened it up to the infection getting in. Ive been using a different approch instead of severe rececting. Been doing frequent trims 4 weeks in between touching up the wall with a handheld surform shaver once a week, keeping the walls trimmed back with lots of break over around it to minimise any leverages, and using a product called sav-a -hoof (for thrush and whiteline disease) to heal it from the inside out and get it to grow out. I'm seeing great results. A horse with severe problems was almost sent to slaughter because of chronic lameness is now sound and showing great wall integity as the hoof is growing down. To me this is a more effective solution because if the horse has this much whiteline disease at the toe, chances are it's in the quarters too, it looks like it might be in the outside quarter flare shown. Some feet get so bad you'd have to take off so much wall it would compromise the integrity of the hoof capsule too much.

Lovely clear and concise video :-) what a good old girl the mare was too. If she has just come back from a bout of Laminitis - cushings related at a guess looking at her coat/eyes/weight distribution? - then it is quite possible that she has had some separation of the white line/laminae which has allowed grit to compact and set up the fungal infection... That could be why the client with the horse who gets seedy toe behind every summer has issues too? Worth both of those clients testing for EMS and Cushings. I do like that you take back the fungal tract to the 'root' as it were. Even though seedy toe is an anaerobic fungus, a lot of farriers will only open up the toe and not follow the tracts back, which I think defeats the object all together! I'll definitely be watching some more of your video's, thank you for your clarity x

Flaring due to the laminitis, as is the rapid growth. I'd dispute the laminitis not being related to diet too as you said there's plenty of grass (likely chronic, sub-clinical).

Horse shoes are done to protect their hooves from wearing down faster than they can grow. Intense work with the horse but also asphalt and stone are the reasons it's done. Like dragging your fingernails over sandpaper every day: it doesn't go well for long.

That being said naturall barefoot is possible and totally good too. Just not for the "athlete horses".
