If you don't mind me asking, what is the thinking behind reducing leverage on the affected side ? I'd go with Chip's approach of adding support on...
Thanks for the replies and I agree, I wouldn't turn them out either with bad company or with too many flies. Also I do not turn them out in too much...
Eric, I do not understand how 24 hour turnout would result in lameness. Can you please explain ? My experience is that a few hours of turnout does...
Yes, Karen, I do not disagree with you or doubt your intentions. But you would be surprised as to how many people nowadays would still "study" that...
IMHO, this is a book about crippled horses developing a ridiculously high pain threshold because that is the only way to survive. How can this ever...
Close up may set the camera zoom on too wide an angle, distorting the photo. I'd suggest to shoot with the camera at half zoom and try to fill the...
I also find straw to be the worst bedding one can use, but if it is the only one you can get it still works well if the horse is not suffering from...
Hmmm...I was just about to say me too, and then then I found this : http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9932088 The way I understand it, Dr Kasapi...
I think there's some calcification on that wing. Or is it under the navicular bone ? Any other views ?
That makes two of us, Eric.
Really messing them up? No. Repeated soaking and drying will theoretically remove some of the natural oils from the surface, but to no remarkable...
Yes, Ray, I do. First is the microscopic examination. If whatever pores of the bearing surface of the wall can be displayed on the microscope,...
The flakes are pretty thin and they dry out immediately. They were very dry under the microscope. I also tried the opposite, to soak them for a few...
We'll work it out, Tom, slowly but surely. It was a surprise not to find any little holes close to the surface, not even at 400X magnification, but...
So, some first remarks from todays first experiment with samples and pictures. The microscope does not show any tubules the way I expected them, ie...
Yeap, I have all the time tomorrow, but no hoof that would provide any wall to work with. One horse only and he may not even need rasping. Maybe on...
Hmmm... I was trying to explain why I believe so, not so much to describe what I believe. To me, the fact that it softens, melts, and then it becomes...
I believe it does seal them, Ray, since it finally makes the surface harder, denser. It softens it with the burn and as it cools down it becomes...
Nice and clean and easy. Good stuff.
