HWSD

A family in the UK bought a young Connemara pony named Enzo for their 18-year-old daughter, only to discover days later that he suffered from the genetic condition hoof wall separation disease (HWSD). The horse, purchased for £5,000 saved by the girl's grandparents, had to be retired at age four due to hoof issues. The owners shared their story to alert others in the equestrian community.
