Rosie had an abscess here is the process of finding it...First I hoof tested the foot and found pain on the outside.

First I saw a black track in the bar so I followed this to no avail.

When this came to nothing I found another black mark nearer the wall.

I then added some pressure with my thumb and started to see the black puss bubble out.

Then I want to make a large enough drainage hole so as it doesn't close up and re-infect.

Now it's ready for a poultice and she already felt better.
