I bought my husband a Appalachin Spotted Saddle horse in April, and he had bad feet. He had been stalled for over a year, almost never riden and his feet were very brittle and cracked. We had the farrier look at him, and he pulled his shoes. His hooves then started peeling, it looked like pencil shavings. Finally, his feet are sound. Yesterday I went out to groom them , I noticed him limping on his right forleg. There is no injury to the leg, or hoof. His knee is swollen, but there is no heat in the joint, and no heat from the hoof. When I checked him this morning, his knee is still swollen and his still limping. We haven't ridden him, because his feet have been so bad, and just now gotten sound, so I'm not sure how he would have gotten hurt. Any ideas?
