Volgens mij is Anouar ook een nieuwe straal aan het maken, het lijkt net of er een nieuwe onder zit, er zijn dus twee lagen. Ik laat het lekker zitten.

In fact it is well known that horses with decreased insulin sensitivity have a very high risk factor for laminitis; there is simply not enough understanding within the horse-owning public as to why? Dr. Philip Johnson writes: “There is a very strong association between the development of obesity, metabolic syndrome and the risk of developing laminitis. Commonly, at initial veterinary examination, there already exists both physical and radiographic evidence of long-standing laminitis in these horses although reputable and credible owners and managers report that there have been no prior signs of laminitis or any obvious explanation. In these horses, visible changes that are commonly attributable to laminitis (including prominent growth lines, palmar divergence of growth lines, and a convex sole) may be evident in the absence of laminitic pain or any history of laminitis or lameness.”

The real problem is that we are taking animals that evolved to thrive on sparse desert rangelands, and are forcing them to try to survive in a “donut factory”. This is why the “desert breeds” carry a higher risk factor for problems processing sugars and thus for laminitis. I know this because I have watched many “hopeless” cases thrive, when their diet was changed to a simpler and more natural mixed-grass hay diet, and the bulk of the sugars and fructan-rich, lush grasses and grains taken away.

Although researchers are still figuring out all the reasons why; we know for a fact that carbohydrate overload weakens the hoof to horse attachment. What happens next depends on the mechanics already in place. If the walls are excessively long and the coffin bone is not receiving natural support through the thick, callused sole of the horse, the weight of the horse simply drops toward the ground, creating coffin bone rotation or distal displacement (sinking). The lower coffin bone position (relative to the hoof capsule) causes a “flat foot” or a bulging sole, with the apex of the frog lacking depth within a solar dome. Most professionals consider this to be a very sudden thing, but it usually happens over time, long before anyone notices a problem. Routine rasping of this growing bulge (read undermining the coffin bone or thinning the sole and overexposing the corium) is usually what actually brings the problem to a horribly painful head for the horse; not the laminitis that has been constantly affecting the horse for years.

Citaat:

Keep in mind that that destruction of the lamellar bond can happen without clinical signs of laminitis. It happens from “top to bottom”, and takes a full growth cycle to grow out in the best of circumstances. If a horse has a dietary insult every spring, when the grass fructans heavily increase and every fall because of acorns or crab apples, the hooves may appear to be constantly suffering from fungal invasion or “white line disease”.

Citaat:

Hoof boots with thick foam insoles added, are very useful for providing enough comfort and protection for exercising the foundered horse while allowing excellent trim mechanics, and tape-on pads are a better choice when protection is needed during turnout. Stall rest is undesirable if a rehabilitative trim is well applied. If you set up proper mechanics with the coffin bone in a natural position (relative to the ground) and relieve the damaged laminae from stress, every step will cause a bit of well connected new growth.

Ja...maar als ik hoefschoenen heb , kan ik net zo goed in de berm rijden dus. En dat kan hier makkelijk hoor. Je hebt hele brede bermen. Het gaat er mij om dat hij nog steeds niet lekker loopt op asfalt. In de berm loopt ie super. Misschien moet ik meer geduld hebben en gewoon langere stukken met hem stappen over asfalt. Zodat hij eelt kan kweken...

sorry meid. het komt erop neer dat hoefbevangenheid en overgewicht samen gaan en dat de meeste paarden waar acute hoefbevangenheid bij gekonstateerd word allang door verkeerde voeding afbraak van de witte lijn gehad hebben.

ze hebben dan white line disease, platte zolen, of zelfs een bobbelin de zool, die dan ook nog weleens wegekapt word waardoor de zool te dun word en de situatie eskaleerd.

Jackie, mijn 6jarige merrie is nooit beslagen geweest en haar stralen voor zijn smal. dat komt door verkeerd bekappen in het verleden. wist ik veel. had regelmatig de tradtionele hoefsmid op het erf. die kappen aan de voorkant teveel weg en laten de hielen te hoog....zucht!
