Hoof Abscessing - Save Your Money
I’ve had a few horses lately in my shoeing rounds that have been lame as buggery in one foot, and it seems to have just happened over night. The owners have understandably panicked because the horse can barely walk on one foot and have called the vet over immediately. The vet then puts the hoof testers on it, offers a few theories (sometimes the right one) and tells the owner to call the farrier. After a hefty vet bill, the farrier is called.
