Farewell C<strong>or</strong>nus<br />
On the last day of the old year 2011, the Trakehner stallion C<strong>or</strong>nus<br />
passed away at age 24 after a colic attack. The bay son of EH<br />
Ravel was approved in Neumünster in 1988 and stood at various<br />
locations throughout his career. His dam C<strong>or</strong>nu was a full sister to<br />
the Grand Prix dressage mare C<strong>or</strong>na, and hence a d<strong>au</strong>ghter of the<br />
great elite mare C<strong>or</strong>n<strong>au</strong> - dam of e.g. EH Consul. C<strong>or</strong>nus was a<br />
successful 1.35m level show jumper, and one of the "quiet champions"<br />
among the Trakehner sires. Despite very limited chances as<br />
a breeding stallion, C<strong>or</strong>nus produced an unually high number of<br />
high quality d<strong>au</strong>ghters, which were successful in hand and under<br />
saddle. He is also the sire of excellent competition h<strong>or</strong>ses, e.g. his<br />
only approved son Ursprung TSF (FEI level dressage) <strong>or</strong> the international<br />
eventing mare Lac<strong>or</strong>na. C<strong>or</strong>nus spent his last years with<br />
the Nüssel family close to Bayreuth in Bavaria and leaves a number<br />
of excellent offspring in the breed.<br />

EQUITANA Greasy Heel 2011<br />
T A<br />
I get to see a great many h<strong>or</strong>ses in my professional life. I take particular interest<br />
in those h<strong>or</strong>ses that appear to be suffering the condition known as<br />
'greasy heel' and will always try to make a point of approaching the owner<br />
and ask how long the h<strong>or</strong>se has had the complaint and how they are treating<br />
it.<br />
Through this process I have been able to<br />
determine that at least 45% of h<strong>or</strong>ses that<br />
are being treated f<strong>or</strong> greasy heel have in<br />
fact are suffering from a little known about<br />
complaint known as Pastern Leukocytoclastic<br />
Plasmosis.<br />
This complaint that has the exact same<br />
symptoms of and presents itself in the<br />
same manner as the complaint known as<br />
greasy heel. Yet when treated as greasy<br />
Leukocytoclastic Plasmosis<br />
heel, it only serves to inflame the situation<br />
and ongoing treatments then become a<br />
nightmare in their own right.<br />
Pastern Leukocytoclastic Plasmosis is quite often easily cured. It is a condition<br />
quite often mistaken f<strong>or</strong> greasy heel and when misdiagnosed becomes not so<br />
easy to cure as it has been improperly treated. Despite having some research<br />
done into the condition, so far no determinable c<strong>au</strong>sative fact<strong>or</strong> has been<br />
identified as the main protagonist; although photosensitization and damp and<br />
perhaps a bacteria are thought to be maj<strong>or</strong> considerations.<br />
Some other thoughts lean toward it being associated<br />
with particular drugs being administered to the h<strong>or</strong>se.<br />
Others lean m<strong>or</strong>e toward it being triggered by UV rays<br />
of sunlight (this combined with wet conditions is also<br />
my own experience on the matter).<br />
Still, it has yet again re-appeared in March 2007, and<br />
I am about to treat it with the topical yet again.<br />
To sum the condition up as far as c<strong>au</strong>se it is fair to say<br />
that so far nothing of note has been determined as<br />
the c<strong>au</strong>sative fact<strong>or</strong> other than anecdotal, but an immune<br />
component is also thought to be possible as<br />
Leukocytoclastic<br />
Plasmosis<br />
well as the fact that being confined to the nonpigmented<br />
areas of the h<strong>or</strong>se, UV rays could also be a<br />
possibility.

EQUITANA Greasy Heel 2011<br />
The condition is also referred to as Photo aggravated vasculitis and most<br />
commonly affects the mature h<strong>or</strong>se, in particular the h<strong>or</strong>ses with no pigmentation<br />
of the skin in the lower limb extremities such as the pastern <strong>or</strong> fetlock<br />
<strong>or</strong> heel bulb. The multiple lesions that occur in these areas are well defined<br />
and will present with the following visuals.<br />
* A redness <strong>or</strong> reddening of the entire area<br />
* Oozing and open crusted s<strong>or</strong>es develop<br />
* Swelling of the affected limb occurs.<br />
* Sometimes in chronic cases, it will take<br />
on a crusty wart like appearance.<br />
My own (Painth<strong>or</strong>se) presented<br />
with the condition as a 4 yo. Like<br />
most people I first thought it was a<br />
simple case of 'greasy heel'. It appeared<br />
identical to that condition. I<br />
treated the condition with all the<br />
usual 'scrub the scabs off', plaster<br />
it in a drying agent, used a wide<br />
range of other products -Potties,<br />
Illium Neoc<strong>or</strong>te, Prednoderm, yellow<br />
lotion, copper sulphate spray,<br />
Zinc etc. etc. you name it, I tried it<br />
and all to no avail. All these different<br />
treatments only served only to<br />
aggravate the condition.<br />
Despite these treatments, it was as if I had thrown an accelerant on a fire,<br />
the condition quickly w<strong>or</strong>sened and spread upward at an alarming rate. This<br />
treatment period was in the vicinity of about 2 months and still no further advanced<br />
in so far as curing the complaint. The h<strong>or</strong>se by this time was extremely<br />
tender and s<strong>or</strong>e and reluctant to allow touch to the area.<br />
After considerable weeks of consulting with different other veterinarians and<br />
alternating various treatments of the range of products and potions, I was at<br />
wits end and fast running out of ideas when I accidentally found a rather<br />
small book written by Profess<strong>or</strong> Reginald Pascoe, a w<strong>or</strong>ld recognised equine<br />
veterinary <strong>au</strong>th<strong>or</strong>ity, and within the pages of this small publication, Prof. Pascoe<br />
described to a letter the condition my h<strong>or</strong>se was suffering.<br />
The article also gave the known cure f<strong>or</strong> the condition - the application of a<br />
topical c<strong>or</strong>tisone.<br />

Greasy Heel<br />
EQUITANA 2011<br />
Within 4 days of applying topical c<strong>or</strong>tisone cream to the by now extremely<br />
painful and swollen limb, the condition began to decline at almost the same<br />
rate as it had expanded, and within 2 weeks had all but disappeared. Other<br />
fact<strong>or</strong>s to be considered in the treatment of the condition are -<br />
DO NOT scrub it <strong>or</strong> attempt to remove the scabs. Leave them alone and in<br />
place.<br />
Keep the area as moisture-free as possible.<br />
DO NOT bandage the area; allow it to dry out and apply nothing apart from<br />
the topical c<strong>or</strong>tisone.<br />
An interesting and anecdotal observation I learned from this condition, is the<br />
fact it re-presents around the same month each year. (with my observed h<strong>or</strong>se<br />
it is in March). This is despite the h<strong>or</strong>se now living in a completely different<br />
paddock on a different property, which would almost certainly eliminate any<br />
chance of it being an annual weed <strong>or</strong> similar.<br />
