My totally unscientific observation is that this seems to happen more often with donks and mules than with horses. That might have something to do with their more upright feet, or maybe just more infrequent trimming.

Because we all know publishers and editors never miss-spell words in their volumes. *headdesk* (Hint for the ignorant...frequently, editors who have zero equine knowledge will change the correct word to an incorrect term because they just plain don't know any better).

I used that one specifically because I thought it would just be silly for you to use that line. In my college equine courses, including my A&P classes, it was referred to as the coronary band and coronet, as well.

Really? Some of the worst spellers I've ever met were doctors and veterinarians. Most farriers I've met in my lifetime were even worse. But I'm glad you're so confident that everyone on this planet can spell perfectly and never makes any mistakes.In my college equine courses, we never once referred to parts of the horse's leg as "coronary". We were corrected to "coronet" band if that mistake was made.

What part about the word origin did you not get? I got out an older dictionary today and both coronary and coronet are derived from corona (sun/round/encircling/blah, blah, blah). Coronary is the only one that is an anatomical term (coronet is a crown) whereas coronary can mean the upper part of an anatomical feature (like the crown of a tooth). Think of it as the crown of the hoof if you must...ETA: My Equine Science text book says it is the coronet (notice it does not say "coronet band") OR the coronary band.
