Thanks! My gelding had thismin both front feet. Stall rest for 3 months then out to larger lot for another 4 months gradually let out in pasture. No riding for a year. Time is the only thing! Stay off for a year! Hes fine now but never has good feet. Thin walls.

Veteran Posts: 130	Pony Plate Vibration plate, Respond laser, herbs, specialized shoeing, and Previcox. Our fella is a 17 year old heel horse. I don't think I'd try this rehab/maintenance on a barrel horse that is not already a serious winner.

Elite Veteran Posts: 928 Location: Northern CA	Did stem cell for the same thing in January. Have been rehabbing at walk since then. Now up to a trot. Hope to be competitive by August. And he had a total of 3, one near the connection to the coffin bone, one between his heel bulbs, and one above his fetlock.
