Finding an Abscess on a radiograph
Harvey owned by Sam Hawthorne had an abscess that myself and the vet were not able to locate from any signs on the external surface of the hoof. It got to a stage where we were fearing worse than an abscess as his pain was so great. Sam got some radiographs taken and to our delight a small shadow showed up where there was puss, then a drainage hole could be made on the sole. The areas circled show where the puss is. Ignore the darker area towards the toe this is a hole made where we suspected it was on previous investigation.

Ryde Back (Dolly) Wins at Newbury
A horse I've done from birth "Ryde Back" known as "Dolly" in the yard, won a big race at Newbury on 27th March. It was an EBF Mares' "National Hunt" Novices' Hurdle Final (Limited Handicap) (Listed Race)
(Class 1) (4yo+) 2m5f Soft over 10 hurdles
She has done so well winning quite a few races that her owners Nicki and Geof Tregaskes have sensibly retired her to save the risk of injury. She will now go on to breed some high quality foals.
