My mare gets these also. The sores are actually caused by the way she gets up. I bed VERY deep with shavings and it doesn't matter. She uses her hocks to get her hind end off the floor. I'd bet if you watch your horse get up you will notice the same thing. My others get up slightly differently. None of them have sores. My mare will have the sores forever - she is 11 years old now.
