Injuries (and the vet bills that go along with them) are no fun!
Thursday morning, I arrived at the barn to tack up for a riding lesson, only to discover an injury just above my horse's left hind hoof. There is some scar tissue through the coronet band there from an accident when he was a yearling, and it was extremely swollen and distended, with an inch-long split right along the top of the hoof. The picture above was taken when the wound was fresh, after I had cleaned it out and cold hosed it.
