    The periople is the shiny coating of the horn. The coronary band is the semi permeable membrane. confusion coming about by anatomy referencing placing the marker of reference at the coronary band the start point of the periople. corium of periople & periople causes confusion of proximity

    the shiny coating of the horn is the shiny coating of the horn... it gets constantly worn away and polished by environmental agents such as sand, soil and vegitation.
    rasp away some of the dorsal wall and the next time you see the horse the hoof will have a 'shiny coating'. The surface has simply dried out, hardened and been 'shined up' by the environment.
    If you want to call that surface the periople, so be it.

    I
    I don't want to call it anything .That's what its called!. To what depth do you think you can keep removing the periople ? or in your mind there is no differences in the structured make up in the layers of the horn.?

    I'm sure there are differences in the structured make up in the layers of horn, but the periople, as I observe it, is that little covering of skin that covers the coronary band and stretches a little way down the hoof wall then flakes off. Rasping the lower third of the hoof wall at the toe will have no bearing on it whatsoever...

    Well this thread is shot. What a pity we never got to Keratin & the differing proteins that make up the layers of horn.:(

    Rasping the lower third of the hoof wall at the toe will have no bearing on it whatsoever. That's where I have been advocating the only rasping should take place & not rasping & buffing up to the coronet.
