Ringbone in both fronts, rotation, and navicular? Sort of covering all the bases there, aren't they? It's impossible to give any specific advice without seeing photos of the feet but as you can see from the case shown here and others on this site, the key to solving many of these problems is correcting the trim. Loweing heels if they are high (rotation and navicular), bringing the coffin bone close to ground parallel and balancing medially/laterally will all help with ringbone. You can start by sending some photos for consultation advice if you like. Really? Ringbone in both fronts, rotation, and navicular?

Thank you for taking the time to post this information and photographs for people to get help from. I asked you in the other post if I could have your blessing to briefly flash your ringbone photograph in a hoof care instructional video, and as I look at more of these, I have to admit, the foundered foot picture you have here is so impacting on me. I have other founder photos from different sources already, but as I look at the set of 3 photos you have on this site, close ups of the hoof wall clearly separated, and the toe not touching the ground, it really is illustrative about founder, in my opinion, and I'd actually be tempted to use them to replace a photo I already have... again, if I have your permission. It's only for about 5 seconds per picture in one section about founder, of the entire 105-minute video, but I do think they are great pictures and I would love to use them. And of course, would be delighted to credit you as the source! Again, please let me know if this is ok. You can email me directly too at lucindac@earthlink.net or call. Thanks again Christina. -Lucinda (p.s. I'm eager to hear from you as soon as possible, as we're about ready to publish the final version...so hoping to hear from you first!)
