Beckie Mabbutt

This horse was a bit sore a few months ago so I put a pair of front shoes on for a couple of months which made the horse sound. There was nothing to see at this time on the sole but some discomfort with hoof testers. I was surprised to see a couple of months down the line this significant bruising, no wonder she was sore. Despite the discoloration she was perfectly comfortable with no foot pain.
