To Clarify regarding the photo in previous post

In my previous post I showed the photo of the periople of Sonny's Left Front with the big separation across it.

I have now learned this is a good thing to happen, not a bad thing. It is a sign that his body is well enough to shed off the old heels & bars that built up inside the hoof over the last many months/years.

To do this the hoof forms an abscess that softens & weakens the connections between the good sole/bars/heels/frog & the old ones that need to be sloughed off.

When all that old sole comes away there will be a nice new well shaped set of bars, heel & frog. I'm sure Sonny will feel a lot better too.

So for the benefit of certain people & so called 'experts' who STILL see fit to criticize me from afar.... mind your mouth & your pen!

Those who dwell within their narrow minded stale methods are in no position to cast aspersions on those who wish to broaden their knowledge by becoming a student of more recent investigations & discoveries.
