: : It is apparent that wet conditions predispose to WLD. I cannot get from the bulletin board, however, a sense of frequency of the condition in habitually shod vs. habitually unshod horses. I'm sure you all have opinions, and I should be interested to hear. jrooney

: Dr. Rooney,

: In the rural areas of Wisconsin, East Central Minnasota, I find 80% of the horses with some type of wall/horn seperation. In time if left untreated you will start to see the white cheeze horn and the ordor of the yeast or fungus infection. The more rain, the more the infection advances. It is about the same in shod or unshod horses.

: Most of the horse that I do, do live in very sanitary conditions.

Thank you, Ray. I have learned that you are the one person, farrier or vet, that can be counted on for quick and forthright answers. Thanks. jrooney
