Lameness examination was showing bilateral lameness of his fore hooves. Both are pain on the hoof test and digital pulse was positive. First X-ray were taken and show rotation and abnormal tip of the pedal bone, where the left fore was worse. Hoof trimming, corrective shoeing, sistemic and oral anti-inflammatory, cold compress, feeding program were combined for the treatment. Three months later, the horse was reexamined and x ray was taken. Another trimming and shoeing were followed with series of x ray shown good result. There are many different method have been suggested to provide support for an unstable pedal bone. Hoof wall resection and corrective sole on the heel area for corrective shoeing.
