Looking for a new home! All offers considered!

Normal lamellae are distinct structures, they look white (epidermal lamellae) and red ( dermal lamellae). They literally lock together and there are also strong fibres running from the inside of the capsule and attaching to the coffin bone.

Healthy lamellae are shown on the first photo.

The second photo, scrutinise it.
Write down all the differences you see. Then let’s go through them together and work out what is happening. They look similar but they are very much the opposite!

Just to help you - the laminar bond is pretty flexible and it accounts for quite a large % of energy dissipation at each foot fall.

With flexibility comes stretch. Laminae can stretch and stretch far too much for too long.
This is typical in diet/insulin related laminitis.

Stretching still causes problems jn the foot. It’s the precursor to ripping so the termed stretched white line is inportant to understand. It’s one of the things we can see in the living horse.

Blood flecks in the white line are other warning signs.

Tomorrow I’ll go through the similarities and differences in these 2 photos and help you understand.

Folks, I understand that many of you are pretty well qualified to understand my posts but the folk I’m wanting to help are those new on their hoofcare journey. So let’s help them with their learning.

And also help me!

Let’s learn together.

In this case I am focussed on newish onset, diet related insulin related laminitis.

Not concussion, not supporting limb, not chronic.

Id be very grateful if you would consider sharing my post thank you. We need horse owners to be educated on laminitis

Thanks my sponsors that are listed in the comments. The slice was taken like a stack of pennies.

Why is it so important to avoid scar tissue formation after an injury?

Let’s take a quick moment to define what scar tissue is:

𝗦𝗰𝗮𝗿 𝘁𝗶𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗲 is fibrous, tougher tissue that is laid down by the body in replacement of the normal, healthy tissue after an injury doing the healing process.

The body uses scar tissue to repair the injured tissue. Unfortunately, scar tissue does come with downfalls.

Scar tissue is known to be less elastic than healthy tissue and has less blood circulation to the area.

Take a minute and imagine gum.

Think about gum that is stretchy and elastic. It takes a lot of force to break that gum. It can stretch significantly before reaching too much resistance to the point it tears, or breaks altogether.

Now, let’s think of gum that stiff and rigid. Maybe an old or unused piece of gum. You can almost effortlessly snap that gum in half.

The analogy of the stretchy, flexible piece of gum is representing ideal, healthy tissue.

The stiff, rigid piece of gum is representing scar tissue.

When you think about how easy the stiff, rigid piece of gum can snap, connect this to soft tissue in the body.

Simply put, the tissue is much more susceptible to re-injuring.

Not only did the tissue lose mobility, but it also lost healthy blood circulation necessary to maintain healthy tissue.

The 𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗸 𝗼𝗳 𝗿𝗲-𝗶𝗻𝗷𝘂𝗿𝘆 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗹𝘆.

When going through a wound, soft tissue or post-operative surgery rehabilitations avoiding scar tissue formation is on the forefront of my goals.

• Avoid scar tissue.
• Maintain mobility.
• Increase circulation.
• Provide a healthy healing environment. 🙌🏻 🙌🏻 🙌🏻

Just something to think about when we turn one out to let them heal on their own or disregard treating wounds.

The facts speak for themselves…
Up to 53% superficial soft tissue flexor tendon injuries are re-injured within 3 years of the original injury, consequently post-scar tissue formation.

Horses make everything better 🧡🖤🩶🐴

Ever felt instantly calmer just by being around horses? There's a scientific reason for that! Horses have a powerful electromagnetic field – five times stronger than ours! – that can actually sync with our heartbeats. 🤯

This amazing connection could:

🧘‍♀️ Lower stress levels
💕 Balance our emotions
✨ Boost our overall well-being

It's like a natural therapy session, just by hanging out with these gentle giants. 🐴 💛

But did you know we can return the favor and support our beloved horses? PEMF therapy, which mimics the Earth's natural electromagnetic field, can benefit horses too! It could help with:

✅ Muscle recovery after workouts or injuries
✅ Joint health and mobility
✅ Overall well-being, energy, and vitality

No feet, no horse!

As spring approaches, and unfortunately so does "mud season", sooner or later nearly all horse owners will deal with a hoof abscess. But what does "hoof abscess" actually mean? This diagram shows a simplified view of the equine hoof to help you visualize the structures involved in this process.

Although most commonly seen during the wet winter and spring months, hoof abscesses can plague horses year-round and usually occur when debris and bacteria enter the foot through hoof cracks and wounds, even horseshoeing holes. The bacteria then get trapped between the sensitive laminae (the tissue layer that bonds the hoof capsule to the coffin bone) and the hoof wall or sole and create pus; the pus builds up over the course of time and puts pressure behind the hoof wall or sole, until it causes the sudden onset of acute lameness when the pain finally becomes too great.

Hoof abscesses can mimic other more serious diseases or injuries, so involving your veterinarian early on in the diagnosis and prompt treatment of this condition is always a good idea. Some abscesses will be uncomplicated and rupture on their own like a large pimple at the coronary band or heel bulbs; other abscesses, however, could require radiographs and will need to be surgically drained.

As always, consult your horse doctor for more information and advice!
