Those rings are commonly called ๐จ๐ฉ๐ง๐๐จ๐จ ๐ง๐๐ฃ๐๐จ, ๐๐ง๐ค๐ฌ๐ฉ๐ ๐ง๐๐ฃ๐๐จ, ๐๐ซ๐๐ฃ๐ฉ ๐ง๐๐ฃ๐๐จ, ๐ค๐ง ๐๐๐ซ๐๐ง ๐ง๐๐ฃ๐๐จ, and they represent changes in hoof growth that occurred at some point in the horseโs recent past.
The pattern shown here appears relatively consistent around the hoof, which often suggests a ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ rather than a localized laminitic growth pattern.
As the hoof grows, these rings move downward, creating a ๐ฅ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ that can help us ๐๐ค๐ฅ๐๐๐๐ฅ๐ when an event occurred and connect it to changes in the horseโs health, management, environment, or workload.
