Hello
My 2007 OTTB gelding has had chronic hoof issues, specifically with chronic abscessing, thin soles, long underrun heels, etc… He is receiving excellent hoof care at this point (has been for the last year) and is still blowing abscesses left and right. When the last abscess popped up, his trimmer and I started doing some research and have had several vets wonder if he has some sort of congenital problem with his digital cushion.
For all you TB experts out there - anyone know if this sort of problem exists in the following pedigree?

Any information from people that have horses from this lineage and/or from people that have researched the correlation of digital cushion problems in TB’s would be greatly appreciated. Or if you know of a vet or farrier that might have the information I am looking for, that would be helpful as well.
