Ramey:
http://www.hoofrehab.com/horses_sole.htmIn the photos above, the left pictures are of the setup trim, and the right pictures are post-trim, four months later. The sole has built so much depth and concavity because it was completely left alone during this process. I was treating the horse for very thin soles and separated laminae. Notice that at the setup trim, the collateral groove at the
apex of the frog is only about 1/8" deep and the sole in front of the frog goes flat. It should be obvious by this that the sole under
P3 is very thin. Four months later, the sole has thickened, Placing the collateral groove 1/2 inch deep at the
apex of the frog and solar concavity has built in to mirror the shape of the bone. All of the white line separation has grown out, with the exception of a small bit remaining at the toe.
Now look at the heels and bars. Early in my career, I would have viewed these bars as being "layed over" or bent, and trimmed bar and sole together to straighten them. Now, however, I see the flat area in the sole at the back of the foot as an indication that the sole is too thin. The bar is not layed over, but is chopped off too short because of this missing solar depth. Over the next four months, I simply let this sole build, keeping the bar and heel wall lowered to the height of the sole. When the sole built to adequate depth, the bars follow the resulting natural concavity and straighten themselves.
