: my pacer has only been in work for two weeks and I have just had her shoed and the farrier found some bruising in the corn area, this seems to be an ongoing problem.What could be causing this.The bruising is always in the front hooves.
Feet too long. Shoes fit improperly or left on too long. Incorrect balance of foot. Injury. Bars too long. Concussion. Injury from rock, stone, hard ground, etc.
