[QUOTE="CattleAnnie, post: 28811, member: 220"] Glad to hear everythings okay, Alex. One easy way to check for a stone bruise is by applying pressure to the sole. When you hit the sore spot, he'll probably jerk his foot back a little. I know about the joy of rocky ground here too... of all the luck I once had a gelding go lame on both front feet at once. Felt like a real dumbie after panicked and got the vet out to check him (somebody spoonfed me the whole 'laminitis' story too), and turned out the horse had a stone bruise on his left sole, and an abcess on the right. A few days of treatment and he was sound in a week. No problems after that. One nifty little trick that an old hand told me to use on a tender-footed horse is to apply straight iodine to the sole. Apparantly it drives the nerves up in the sole. Never tried it myself. Anyone else? However, if I've got a horse like that I just throw a set of front shoes on him and get to work. Take care.
