In both fronts, right front it is fully ossified on both sides (looks like a large stag has taken up residence from the rear shot!) Left foot is fully ossified on the right hand side and about half way up on the left.
On a positive note nothing else at all is wrong with either foot, Navicular bone looks perfect on both feet.
Vet nerve blocked him and he was 90" after the low injection on this left leg so at least we know what is causing the lameness on hard surfaces which is the side bones in the left foot still ossifying, he is still totally sound with no nerve block in the sand school.
Vardi is staying overnight so vet can do a belt and braces sonograph tomorrow.
So vet is saying remedial shoes, with a gel pad and short toe to aid roll over, I have asked if we go down this route is it not a case of taking out your cannons at the beginning of the war as it were.
So you all knew it was coming......can I have positive side bone stories please and options of trimming or remedial shoeing.
This horse will be the death of me I swear it!
