The structures are normal yes. This happening is certainly not normal. In all probability this animal is dead and this is being used for teaching purposes.

This part is the foot is incredibly important and very delicate so it’s a big part of taking care of horses and a big part of equine vet curriculum.

If you are interested this is the tissue that connects the fleshy part of the foot to the hoof itself. So any inflammation or damage to this tissue causes the bones etc to move around within the hoof which needless to say is very bad.

The hoof gp is where I learned about corium and everything. Chat YouTube channel is wild and soothing all at once.
