Keratoma

I got involved with this 7 year old warmblood that was 2 weeks down the line having had a Keratoma removed from the inside of his front foot. A Keratoma is a rare benign tumour of the horn producing cells. This horse needed a support system put on to lock up the foot and provide him with as much stability as possible as the foot was lacking all the essential structure on the inside.
