white spots on heel

Hi everyone

For the last two days after my horse has been grazing, she has had these two soft spots on each of her front heels. They are not at all sore and she isn't lame. Is it anything to worry about? I know the picture isn't very clear but I'll try to get another one tomorrow if you like.

Additinal info:
She wears bell boots on turnout to stop overreaching injuries (which she is prone to)
The grass is rather wet when she is out because of rain adn the dew

Ok, for some reason my picture didn't appear... I'll try again and hopefully it will work

EDIT I can't work out how to get it to work using the upload picture thingo :(

EDIT (no. 2) yay its working now!

I'm no expert but could it be the bell boots rubbing? Or possibly holding moisture against the heal?

It looks like it is caused by moisture, can you take the bell boots off for a while to see if they dry out??

Mmm I thought it may have been rubbing from the bell boots. But yeah, they do dry out once the bell boots are off. I haven't had a chance to had a close look at her heels after the boots have been off for a while. I'll do that tomorrow morning. She has to wear these bell boots for 5 hrs a day in often wet and muddy conditions when she is turned out. All the other time, apart from being ridden, the boots are taken off. It

Is this rubbing likely to be a problem warranting me not putting on the bell boots? Bearing in mind that she has cut her heels several times from overreaching, mainly in turnout? It doesn't hurt her at all, but I'll definitely keep an eye on it. I didn't notice the rubbing until we started getting heavy dews at night, it must be that her boots are wet and that makes them rub.

Are you positive they are rubs?? To me it looks more like its caused from being wet, kinda like when you keep a bandaid on your finger and get it wet, and then it goes funky.

Try not using the bell boots for a while and see if the white spots go away. To me it can look like either rubbing or wetness...it's hard to tell by just seeing a picture.
If the spots continue to stay I'd get a farrier out to have a look at it. Where is Barefoothooves? She might know

I was going to guess they look like soft spots from wet footing and with your explanation she wears bell boots that's what it is.

I'd take those boots off until the footing dries before her skin breaks and she gets some painful sores.

I have a life for one day and everyone posts the intresting stuff! LOL

Looks like excess moisture/bell boots to me, too. Whoever said it was like a bandaid and the soggy skin underneath hit the nail on the head.

Take off the boots. She really shouldn't overreach that much and cut herself up all the time. Granted, it happens with horses that have long strides, but she should be aware of herself enough to avoid catching her heels at liberty. It's usually while ridden that they get tired or are required to do things that exaggerate movement. Have you farrier re-evaluate how he/she's balanced and see if it can be tweaked a little to stop that.
