I posted earlier this week about the ponys feet and cptrayes and lucy priory mentioned about the event lines. I have taken a few more pictures if you guys could help me to understand the lines and the balance of his feet. This is in my opinion the least balanced they have looked and not their normal shape but I don't know if they are a problem.

This was what I found one day in Feb/March I think:

and you guys said it was likely he had had an abcess and that this was the end result where the dead tissue broke off. He was out for half a day in the mud and the rest of the time in his stable with a concrete pen outside.

This is now the same foot:

Now out 24/7 on a grazed down paddock with hay and up to an hour on the grass or a strip morning and evening. The event lines are related to the grass but following my last post I wonder if they indicate any sort of low grade laminitis issues.



I missed taking photos of the sole i'm afraid, forgot that part. Any insights would be welcome.

Thank you!
 
I may be way off the mark but my understanding is its only lami signs if the event lines get further apart the nearer to the heel they get? If they are even then its just normal event lines
