I am pretty sure my guy has a bad stone bruise. My farrier (also my better half lol) is going to look at him tonight after work, but I am almost positive it is.

If I am right, how should this be treated? Can it even be or is it just going to be a lot of stall rest and heal time on its own? Is their anything that I can do to help speed up the process or make him more comfortable for the time being?

Thanks for any help! I feel so bad for him!

Location: God's country...aka TEXAS		If it is stone bruise, it will just take time. My horse had one last year and my farrier (also my better half lol) wrapped it up for a few weeks to keep from making it worse and then we just kept him turned out in soft sand. It took about 6 months to heal completely.

I am currently dealing with this and am SOO SOO Frustrated with it. Right now I am packing his foot with Magic cushion but it is a SLOW process for sure.
