My highland who is oversized at 15.1Hh and therefore, a bit of a heavyweight, has very hard feet But he gets an abscess on average three times every winter. Usually it's the fronts but this time he has one high up near the coronet band on a hind hoof. The farrier has just been but the abscess is not open yet and although he has dug a hole, no pus so far. My question is, does anyone know of any really good hardener for the SOLE of feet. He seems to have quite a soft area around the white line and the farrier thinks that this is where the abscess is starting and then tracking up to the coronet. Any ideas would be gratefully received and save a fortune on bandages and animalintex.
