Hoof Wall and White Line Disease
The topic for this month’s "Step by Step" is white line disease. Nothing would please me more than to write a helpful, informative article on white line disease for horse owners, but at this point, that article would have to be very, very short. We know very little about white line disease. Many people have ideas about what it is and how to treat it, and some people are very successful. I would suggest, however, that there is a great deal more to this whole problem than any of us know.
