Beautiful weather here in upstate SC. But my gelding has come up lame. And he's the one I need to be riding. Damnit. Started him on bute yesterday. If he don't clear up in a couple of days, I'll have to start thinking about an abscess in the hoof.

Is he especially sensative in the sole of his foot, or do you feel any soft spots or heat?

Abscesses sure are aggravating with all the soaking involved. Good luck!

Sorry your gelding came up lame... abscesses can be real painful if that's what it turns out to be. Was he recently shod?
