Horse folks...do you say "coronet" band, or "coronary" band?

Coronary band, I'm not sure if I'd heard it differently, never paid that much attention.

lol, I've run it through my head so many times thinking about it I can't even say it now!

Around here you hear Coronet Band. But I have heard coronary band.

Coronet.

Coronet is correct:) I've never heard coronary band.

Until right now, I have never heard the term coronary band instead of coronet band. My horse anatomy and veterinary dictionary states coronet band.

Lol, I hear both all the time! I learned it as coronet band before coronary so that's what I say.

Haha, everybody thought I was crazy because I said it reminded my of trumpets!

I'm from the UK, and use the term Coronary band.

If you google coronet band, and coronary band, you will see that you get far more results for horses using the term Coronary.

Jeez, I can assure you that it is coronet. Just go online or in a book on horse anatomy and check for yourself. Coronary has to do with the heart and nothing at all to do with the rubbery band that runs around the top of a horses hoof. In all of my 45+ yrs of being in horses I have never heard such a thing. Even the 7 yr old kids in lessons know this.

I say coronet but I do hear both used ( I always think of heart attacks when I hear it called coronary though !)

It is the coronet when you are describing the area as in points of the horse and refered to as 'coronary band disease' wwhen it is the subject of a medical problem. Just dont ask me why because I have no idea!

Just wondering. I've always said "coronet" band and yes, it does bring to mind visions of trumpeters.

What do you say, and do you hear both?
