This is why ringbone is such a horrible diagnosis.
We know a hoof rehabilitation farrier who began her in depth studies and apprenticeships because she lost her mare to ringbone from a lifetime of improper trim set ups in the hooves.
Ringbone is an issue that is mainly occurring because of a lack of knowledgeable hoof care.
While conformation, genetics, and the horse's daily use are also factors, how the horse's foot lands is super important to the long term soundness of the animal.
