Sand crack

Posted by Erica on March 31, 2003 at 01:54:33:

My mare has a sand crack on her off fore running from the coronary band to the toe. Can anyone tell me if they have used natural balance shoes as a method of remedying this type of problem to relive pressure at the toe. It was started by a thorn through the coronary band and we have tried most of the usual methods. She has not been ridden for 6months and was on light exercise before that for 3months. I have read some of the other messages with interest and we have not tried recessing the hoof on either side of the crack so that there is no contact with the shoe. My biggest problem is that the mare cannot be shut in as she gets claustrophobia and will do more damage.

I would be interested to hear any views on my query.
