Bettina Martin's Rio

Bettina’s email to me summarizing this case in May, 20 1 2:

"Rio is comfy in boots but still sore over uneven terrain without. He is Cushing’s and IR, but his diet is controlled and his ACTH is a little high (84 on 6mg pergolide). I’m just wondering why on earth he is still sore. His laminitis happened in Oct 20 1 0 and I was hoping I would be able to ride him again. It’ll be 2 years this Fall… :-( "

The trimmer needs some help to determine where the bars are and how to trim them so that they end up where they can function properly again.

I would roll off those heels at the back, that will certainly help those bulbs relax more as well. Barb Fenwick

I’m glad you pointed that out. I will make sure that I include the heel bulb and hairline from now on when I take the pictures!

This camera angle allows us to see the changes to the sheared inside heel. Looking back at the earliest photo taken from the same angle, the inside bulb hairline was jammed more (sheared). In the next photo (of the same), taken later, you’d not centered the hoof in the frame so the hairline of both bulbs was cut from view so it’s hard to know how much the inside bulb had been able to relax down at that time but there’s clearly a difference between the earliest photo and this one. I just won’t assume the change didn’t occur sooner or have continued since the first trim you, yourself, did for Rio . :-)
