Treating Horse Corns By an Animal Husbandry Authority

Dr. A A Holcombe explains cause and cure for horse corns. Shoeing faults often cause the problem and flat or concave shoes with proper heels can relieve pressure. Preventive care includes keeping the hoof supple and minimal sole paring. For chronic dry corns, poulticing and careful horn removal aid healing, with bar or stiff-heeled shoes if needed. For moist corns, cutting out the moist horn and cold baths help inflammation.
