Hi all,

Just some advice really...

My youngsters four hooves are all white and i noticedd today that ALL of them have like a pink bruise on them.

He isnt lame or anything and isnt sore either.

Let me pick them all out and put pressure on the sole.

I've read some things on the internet that say it could be just bruising or it could be laminitus.

he is slightly pidgeon toed but only in the front and he is due for his trim in roughly 3 weeks.

Theres been nothing on our fields because of the weather we had back in april. He isnt over weight but could do with losing a little.

Just wondered whether this is actual bruising and if anyone else has had these on there horses?

Thank you.
 
My horse has the same. It is bruising. usually by the time u can.c it, it Is old. May b mild lami, especially as everyone seems to b stuggling a little with this at.mo. keep fibre intake up and restrict sugars and starches. X
