When I was a kid, 10 or so, when it was farrier day I was there on an upturned bucket watching everything. We had a barn that has a safe place from a kid to chill safely. I always found it amazing how some horses came in so ripped up, half the hoofs still in the shoe, or thrush that was bad from some of our guys in the wet fields. I would love to sit and watch, chat, learn, and I felt blessed these hardworking men and one woman would slow down just enough to point something out different on a certain horse. An angle or a crack in a bad spot that won’t heal without a lots of help. My old old blacksmith worked into his 90’s (!!!) and he loved to teach as well as get some help! He would ramble on with his tales and stories and I love them.

You can see a small vertical incision in the foot above the hoof, so I'm betting that this started as a foot injury where the pressure buildup caused it to blowout through the hoof. The foot looks fine now and was obviously drained, so besides the bacterial sinus track through the hoof the foot looks nice and healed. Iodine or chlorhexadine foot soaks might also prove beneficial in getting into the track and drying up any remaining infection and inflammation. Gotta say I really liked the ingenuity in using an old rasp to build the frog support and the use of dental putty to cushion it. I hope this gentle guy heals and gets his spirit back. ❤

Hi, believe it or not, my horse didn't even limp! The ring around his hoof was very noticeable, but I had no idea that it was rotting away. I own the horse and I really appreciate the Idaho Shoeing School Team for discovering and treating him. The shoe is only nailed on one side so I need to tighten it each day. I'm so impressed with the expertise in shaping the shoe and carefully routing out the decay. The horse has a slight limp when trotting, but he walks just fine. I will keep you posted.

@@YellowstoneHorsesReally? He never limped? That's crazy because it looks like a huge abscess that blew out. Horses are so damn tough. I had a palomino mare that tripped when running through a gate one time and she gouged her ribcage on a ROUNDED "HORSE-PROOF" latch. She had a slice down her ribs at least a foot long that cut all the way to the bone. I could literally see her ribs! Her only reaction was to look back at it once, and then put her head down and graze like normal. If I hadn't seen it happen, it could have been hours before anyone saw it. Your guy looks like such a gentleman. And can I say what beautiful body condition he has? Goals.
