Oh dear! I'm getting really used to having a Versatile Horsemanship vid every day! Not sure what I'm going to do when it stops! Btw, thank you so much for these vids. I was shocked when you said before about how it takes 2-3+ hours to edit 15 mins! My jaw dropped - it still hurts. So, wanted you to know at least one of your subscribers appreciates all your time 😊😊😊
My new horse has the same lines on all four hooves. It's called an "Event Line". It happens when the horse experiences a change, whether it be their environment, diet, or even a stressful event. I've never seen anyone post a video on this before, so I was super excited when I found this on your channel. 🤩🤗
The internal part of the horse hoof is composed primarily of a fibrous tissue called lamina that has a mass of almost microscopic blood capillaries running through it and providing oxygenated blood flow to the tissue to keep it healthy The Latin word for inflammation is (itis). So, when a horse develops laminitis it has inflammation of that lamia. And since the lamina is encapsulated inside a rigid structure of the outer hoof wall, the swelling of the lamia becomes very painful and the normal exchange of new blood for old into and out of the hoof and up the leg is reduced dramatically, partly due to the congested capillaries and partly due to the pain the horse is reluctant to move and if the horse does not move the blood will not be forced up the leg to be exchanged with new blood. If a horse stands perfectly still without moving their feet the blood flow or exchange is almost nonexistent that is why if you feel a horse lower leg after they have been standing for a long period without moving the lower leg will feel cold, almost like its dead. The founder is when the supporting tissue consisting of the lamina begins to become necrotic and dies and without this supporting tissue the coffin bone or peddle bone inside the horse’s hoof that connects to the pastern bone. Due to the weight bearing down on it, It begins to slowly sink into the decaying lamanitic tissue and push down onto the inside of the sole of the hoof just behind the toe at roughly a little beyond the point of the frog and in extreme cases of founder it can actually push all the way through the sole. Nowadays with advances in the treatment of founder with intensive medical treatment and extensive corrective therapeutic shoeing, horses often do recover from this condition, wherein years past they would often have had to be humanely put down. The cause of this condition can be the result of many things, like sudden dietary change, certain drugs dosed inappropriately, a high fever for an extended period and infections from any number of things, some as simple as an insect bite or concussive trauma to the feet from riding them on hard surfaces for a long period or too fast, or something as simple of trimming their feet too short. The onset can be very rapid and very quickly become acute if not recognized and treated effectively. The first obvious indication of such a condition is the horse will be reluctant to walk and will exhibit bilateral forefoot lameness and tend to rock back on the hind feet to lighten the load on the front feet. In a case like this, a bounding or (throbbing) digital pulse can very easily be felt with thumb and middle finger palpating at the lower outside rear corners of the fetlock joint where the major arteries cross over the outside of the joint. This elevated digital pulse is the result of the congested capillaries not allowing the blood flow to continue through the capillaries and back up the leg. Much like pressurized water trying to flow through a kinked or clogged hose. The heart is trying to push the blood through but the path is partially blocked to there is backpressure, thus the increased digital pulse. The condition most often occurs in the front feet first. Except in cases of drug-induced founder such as an overdose of steroids like prednisone or in some cases NSAID overdose. This is the most profound and the most difficult type of founder to deal with because it typically involves all four feet.
This is very informative. Videos like this will always be welcome. I'd be interested to find out exactly what teeth floating is. I dont own a horse, but I do ride now and then. I'm interested in learning everything I can incase I ever do get the chance to own one
I've seen horses that had foundered severely and it is a sad sight indeed 😢 I had been told that laminitis was due to too rich hay. It is good to know there are other possible causes as well, and the horse can get through it with proper care and knowledge.
The trim looks amazing, whoever is trimming that horse appears to be doing well. I'd be cautious about telling everybody this is a laminitis "attack" as it sounds really bad and instead what this appears to be is a more timely trim so that the capsule can attach properly as the hoof wall below shows an angle deviation consistent with what was likely a longer trim cycle or lack of removing of enough hoof wall to stop with the mechanical separation. The angle of the tubules to represent a slightly pulled forward toe with a slightly underrun heel. Trimming less more often will go a long ways for these hooves. Multiple rings likely means poor trim timing consistently more often than it would be diet but both diet and consistency of footing can also play a role and should be considered as hoof growth is dependent on diet and the ground can widely change a wear pattern in a hoof. Not sure if that helps, obviously please feel free to delete if I'm just being a pain ☺️
Stable Horse Training not a pain at all, thanks for commenting. I agree with the word “attack” being too strong. I really wasn’t sure how to word it in very simple terms for beginners and non horse owners. We had quite a few horses with issues after their rabies vaccine this year and I really think that’s what it’s from. Her trims are consistent, so is diet and exercise. She had obvious laminitis a little over 10 years ago and was out of work for a few months. This ring was the only evidence we noticed this time around, but clearly something wasn’t right. Out of 9 horses trimmed, she was the only one who had it. After the rabies vaccine, several horses had pretty bad diarrhea for several days. This particular horse moved back to my barn around the same time so maybe that’s it. Who knows. Here’s another video about this horse if you are interested th-cam.com/video/WNYHIF8Zfmw/w-d-xo.html
@@VersatileHorsemanship I just started watching your trim video from 2018 that you posted in another comment. It's hard to say for sure on everything so I would genuinely say that my words are super generalized as I'm not there and am not seeing all the history and accumulated knowledge you have on your own horses that adds to the diagnosis. I can say that I've taken over a lot of horses with slight mechanical (and caused some too!) delamination or separation and I see that same pattern of a steady hoof wall below a wrinkle or bump and the hoof wall above it is at a different angle. That leads me to the suggestion above, which could be wrong as again, I'm not there nor have the knowledge you have on your own horses. Awesome you trim your own horses, turns out I was complimenting you! You should have said that in your video as your work is a lot better than many "real farriers" out there, definitely take credit for that!
Stable Horse Training Thank you! I can’t take credit for this particular trim as she is now trimmed by our farrier (who also taught me). I owned and trimmed this horse for 10 + years and then sold her to a student. She left my place for a short time and is back again 😊
Wow... I've missed your videos. So glad to see you again. Really want to see what's going on with your farm and family. I bet Manser is a big beautiful boy now. Please come back on TH-cam 🤠🥰
You will see this in the big toe nail sometimes as well. One cause is stress, another is thought to be when the equestrian uses hoof polish too often, not the oil, but the polish that is like clear or black nail polish for hooves. I've always seen it more in stressed horses. Like weather stress, show stress, going from an off season right into training and showing. The latter I have seen the most of in horse racing and showing.
I love horses. I never owned one.. But learning about their care and health is fantastic. I love this horses feet (unique hoof coloring) ... She is so calm as you show us her issues. Oh and that cat! 😂 😘 Thanks again.
Hi Brandi. Here's an idea.🤔 Horses allergic to the bit. My daughter's horse had this happen as a three year old at that time. Blistered mouth. Stopped eating. Vet check. Wellness check. Rehab. Bitless riding. My personal experience with the entire process .... it was intense. 😀
suzy klitgaard very interesting. I’m sure horses can have metal allergies just like humans. We use all high quality metals for our bits because I’ve had issues with cheap ones. This particular horse has used the same type of bit since I started her as a 4 year old and she’s in her mid teens.
That’s very interesting about the laminitis. Other than that ridge the colour of the hoof (as in striped) is just beautiful. I haven’t seen such pretty striped hooves like that before!
You always offer something interesting to learn about horses! Miss Kitty’s chilly nap in a bed of snow surprised me as well. Good to know that’s normal.
I don’t know the differences between horses hooves and human nail tissue but in people if I saw that ridge I would think trauma to the nail bed, which laminitis must resemble in some way. Will look it up. You are so pleasantly educational, thank you. 😀. Hope your horse has widely infrequent trouble with this issue.
Awesome information as always, might I suggest a similar video on stress rings in hooves as well to continue to help educate your viewers to show the difference?
Versatile Horsemanship ~ those who may be inexperienced with horses and the structure, function, and ailments of the most important part of the horse might think that all rings on a hoof is a sign of a more serious issue than what it might be and not give that horse a good home or treat or don't treat accordingly. There's so much about a horses recent past that can be told by their hooves. The last 9-12 months anyways. Major changes or moving to new barn or area type changes that were major to the horse, feed changes, emotional changes... stress rings aren't bad, not a sign of any health issues or anything but sure can tell you a lot and help people understand their horse a bit better and could be very helpful in their relationships. First thing to look at when getting a horse is their feet.. no foot, no horse I believe was the saying. I myself am over 40 years experienced with horses and I appreciate your videos very much, for those less experienced your videos are very educational and I'm sure appreciated a great deal. Knowledge is power :0)
@@LynneDemonQueen1 Cool! How much does it cost to own it yearly? I know there's a lot of things that are way more expensive then a regular riding horse.
@@Pyr.0.maniac ~ of course tack is more expensive and sometimes very difficult to find especially in the southern states. I'm very blessed by my farrier who charges me the same for her trims as my QH. (My mare has exceptional ground manners and doesnt give any troubles with her feet). Some farriers charge double or triple for draft trims if they'll even do drafts. My mare does consume more hay/pasture grass than a normal sized horse. Other than that they're not any more expensive to keep.
Interesting video. This looks like it would hurt - what could be done to make the horse more comfortable while the healthy hooves grew out? Clover is an awesome kitty. Thanks as always for all your hard work in sharing with us!
CMarie57 she does not appear to be in any pain at all and she may not have been. The rings just indicate that their was a significant change. Many people don’t even notice when their horses have them. Here’s more info about this horse th-cam.com/video/WNYHIF8Zfmw/w-d-xo.html

THANK you Brandi, well done! Will you please show behavior/ symptoms of bruised foot/ frog. And do you grow your horses fore mane long for insect control?
Roberta Hauck well, I don’t really come across issues with a bruised frog but in tomorrow’s video you’ll see some heel bruising on a horse with a club foot. I don’t cut my horses mane because it’s too much maintenance and I like how it looks when left natural. Chopped off mane or forelock kinda reminds me of the 3 stooges 🤷♀️
That was very interesting! Thankfully we never had a horse with laminitis. Do you ever take your horsess on trail rrides? Just wondering if you put shoes on the horses for trails then remove them when trail riding season is over. I know it would be a lot of work.
HootOwl Holler I don’t use shoes and we love to trail ride. The horses do great without them. Here’s more about this horse and how I trim th-cam.com/video/WNYHIF8Zfmw/w-d-xo.html
This is a very interesting and informative video. I do have a question. I know that you trim your horses hooves. Why are hers so small/short? Is that just the way they are?
I find that Many horses are left with too long of a toe after a trim. Horse shows are a great place to see some really gnarly hooves (that are made that way for show purposes). It all depends on who is trimming and what their philosophy is. This mare has outstanding feet, some of my favorite to trim. Perfectly shaped and never a flaw besides the laminitis ring you are seeing in this video.
Diet change, especially to a richer (too rich?) diet. If she were mine I'd radiograph the hooves to see what the coffin bone is up to, if anything. Do the soles look normal?
John Amidon yup, soles are normal. Horse was never even lame. There were a lot of variables around the time it happened but now I’ll be watching closely.
Those are the smartest looking hooves ever!! Never seen anything like 'em! Beautiful! Are they common and I've just been oblivious??!!😂😂😂All I can do is try harder!!!!😂😂😂 Tell me please where you are located! 💓💛💚💙💜🌈
Constance C it happens more frequently then you would think. She’s not my horse so I didn’t even know until she was trimmed. No signs of soreness, or indication that something is wrong. Sometimes it really doesn’t affect them besides what you see after.
I have seen rabies vaccine cause so much trouble in cats and dogs. From dull coat to bad inflammatory arthritis attacks with popping apart tendon injuries and just failure to thrive. You can anticipate vaccine reactions and try to do something about them. I knew a lady with 5 horses that had one horse that got bad vaccine reactions, she gave him homeopathic thuja. She thought it helped. There may be other things.
My two horses have these same rings. I knew a change in diet and founder can cause them But I did not know that vaccines could cause them. My farrier said the rings would have happened about 2 months ago. Exactly 2 months ago we had the horses at the vet for teeth floating and vaccinations. So hopefully that was the cause, and not founder.
That's what happen with a pony i meet a while. that 's miss kissing her in my picture right now. they had to remove her hoofs and has fake ones now. the owner thought at first she in pain, but ever time the vet comes she rans away.
If you’d like to see more about this particular horse, watch this next th-cam.com/video/WNYHIF8Zfmw/w-d-xo.html

I have seen rabies vaccine cause so much trouble in cats and dogs. From dull coat to bad inflammatory arthritis attacks with popping apart tendon injuries and just failure to thrive. You can anticipate vaccine reactions and try to do something about them. I knew a lady with 5 horses that had one horse that got bad vaccine reactions, she gave him homeopathic thuja. She thought it helped. There may be other things.
My two horses have these same rings. I knew a change in diet and founder can cause them But I did not know that vaccines could cause them. My farrier said the rings would have happened about 2 months ago. Exactly 2 months ago we had the horses at the vet for teeth floating and vaccinations. So hopefully that was the cause, and not founder.

That's what happen with a pony i meet a while. that 's miss kissing her in my picture right now. they had to remove her hoofs and has fake ones now. the owner thought at first she in pain, but ever time the vet comes she rans away.
Gina Caparotta never heard of hooves being removed. Are you sure they weren’t just trimmed?
