Hi,
I have just found this site. Hopefully you can educate me on my newfound problem. I have a large warmblood that has just been diagnosed by my Vet as having a pretty bad Corn. Though I see the area they are speaking about I'm still not sure what it is and why it hurts the horse. She just had an abscess in the area. And about a year ago had a bad abscess in the area where a Vet pared out a large area. She has underslung heels that the current Vet with a farrier are trying to correct utilizing X-rays. They did not protect the Corn with a Pad. What are your thoughts?
