Second, I would like to draw <strong>your (sp.) </strong> attention to a few things: this post is not intended to illustrate and discuss all of this particular horse's problems (as you can see it has multiple tags including clubfoot, conditions and treatment, etc.). It was posted to illustrate the relationship of long bars to long collateral grooves and how these are actually visible on xrays, because people don't believe or don't know what is under the surface when looking at the bottom of a foot. This is not to say the horse doesn't have other problems. What do you think are his other issues brought on or manifested by the uneven coronary band? Dear David,

A horse with a coronary band as uneven as that has alot more than a long bar issue, your nuts. A horse with a coronary band as uneven as that has alot more than a long bar issue,

I agree with you, you are absolutely correct that this would be the trimming protocol required to see improvement. The main emphasis of this post was to show, very clearly thanks to this xray, how damaging long bars and thus deep collateral grooves can be. Thank you for your comment Ann.

You would also have to direct attention to the outside bar- both collateral grooves are too deep even if the inside is more so. You should expect inflamation in the living tissue above both bars that will cause excess horngrowth for some time and need to be trimmed often. Trimming often- twice a week- in the beginning until the inflammation is gone is vital to correct the imbalance, or there will be a vicious circle of excess growth of barhorn, causing inflammation and so on. http://www.hovvardsforbundet.org I’d say that it is not enough to lower the inside bar.
