A horse presented for slight lameness, associated with the right hind foot which had been slowly enlarging for some time.
| Question | Answer | Article | |
| What is this condition? | ‘Seedy toe’ – separation of the wall from the deeper structures of the foot. The image shows that the enlargement of the toe is associated with the development of a large cavity between the wall and the pedal bone, particularly on the medial aspect. |

| How would you treat it? | Removal of all the separated horn to allow the hoof wall to regrow in closer apposition to the pedal bone.
