hoi Tabitha,

ik kwam toevallig een artikel tegen in NaturalHorse.com, met nuttige info. Ik heb de stukjes die over die rode plekken gaan even voor je gekopieerd:
***
Red staining of the white line in toe region: These isolated blood cells are proof of unnatural stretching up and forward of the hoof wall at the toe. This results from not properly backing up the toe of a hoof so that the hoof capsule will grow down instead of being stretched forward.
***
Red staining of the sole directly in front of the frog: Is most likely not stone bruising; actual stone bruising is rare. If this bruising were in fact stone bruising, it could at times appear on either side of this region, yet it appears almost exclusively dead center. These unnatural loadings are a result of a rigid shoe violating the ability of the hoof to expand naturally through the toe. When bruises are directly in front of the point of the frog they are in fact bruised from the coffin bone slapping the internal sole. They occur on thin walled hooves that have been shod with a shoe that is not elastic or forgiving enough to allow a hoof to expand naturally in an outward manner.

Als ik jou was zou ik idd op zoek gaan naar een professionele hoeftrimmer, die ervaring heeft met hko.htm">hoefkatrol.
Je zou Yolande (strasser hoefspecialist) kunnen proberen, die kan je hier vinden: http://www.thehorseshoof.com/CSHS.html

Succes!
