How much do you really know about equine feet: A Quiz

Here's an interesting quiz on hoof knowledge, for those who like that sort of thing...

I'm slipping in my middle age - got 12 out of the 25. Granted that's supposed to be better than average but I've always been good at spotting lameness and hoof problems, and how I hate being wrong....there were some pretty scary looking hoofs pictured on that test - pity the poor horses that they belong to.

Nothing like a test to show how much you don't know. I only got 4 correct.

WOOO-WOOO!

The only one I missed was the abcessing one - I've never seen an abcess, or a picture of one that looked like that, and that foot just looked weird!

Yea after it said it was an abcess I could see the discoloration on the hoof on the right heel area but before that . Oh well I guess I need to hit the books.
