red lines

[samstar]

I've noticed today that my pony has red lines just under her coronet band and don't know if its a bruise or not. They do go all the way round hoof. She is rather wonky on her legs so don't know if shes knocking them out in field.She's 1/4 tb x 3/4 dartmoor so rear end tb, large head and pony legs. Would post pic but hp has it on her phone. any ideas would be helpful.

Thankyou my dear, hopefully might get some answers now lol.

hmm my mare sometimes gets a couple of red marks on her hoof - mostly in spring and he says they are nothing to worry about.

That said ive never seen one in one big ring before - can you ask your farrier or perhaps try the farriers forum?

It's just a result of trauma at some point, probably about 3 months ago looking at where the line is. It's just like when you hit your thumb with a hammer. The blood bruising will grow out eventually.
