Please use this thread to post images of your Horses Veterinary Conditions.
PapaFrita suggested this would be very helpful and informative for all types of Horse Conditions, to show other HHO Members

I hope this helps any of you, with horses who have had, or are currently suffering from Laminitis
These pictures were taken on 25th August 2009, a day after being shod.
They show how weak the Laminae looks when it grows down. The Farrier rasps all the 'cruddy' old stuff off so that they are neat and tidy (sorry a bit crudely put, but it is the best I can do!)
Some people have commented that it is Seedy Toe, so I suppose it is a form of it, although there is no infection
, however it is the aftermath of 10 degrees of rotation
For those of you who do not know 'Motor' .... he went down with Cushings Induced Laminitis in October 2005 at the age of 24 .... he is now a happy 28 year old, being ridden regularly and can still be a handful, when the mood takes him
The green on his feet, is him stepping over/missing the ledge on his Field Shelter, I think
