The procedure has fallen out of favor in recent years, but its still done. It doesn't have any lingering effect, its meant to promote healing...if that's what the OP was asking.

has no factor whatsoever. not even worth mentioning. used to be a rather standard procedure for treating bucked shins. But not used nearly as often anymore.

One upside, it forces you to wait on them a little longer......

Amen - very nice photos, Pine Tree Lane. Great shots of Verazzano and you can clearly see the pinfiring on his front legs.

I suspect Verrazano might be the horse she would be rooting for therefore I'd like to see #14 run well in the Derby and so for me this would honor her memory.

It makes me wonder what she would have written about pinfiring in this thread
