This was a Coronary Band Blow Out from my horse Jack. HIs hoof wasn't balanced and it put too much pressure on a curtain area of the coronet until it opened. Poor farrier work was the cause of this.

Treatment

Although not as bad as the photo before this one it is another blow out that happened a few weeks after the other one healed. Once again this was caused by poor farrier work.
