I have a 4yo that a friend is starting right now that is very obviously back at the knee on one leg. Does anyone here have any experiences with this conformation fault? What were the lameness problems encountered, or were they sound? How much did the fault their athletic abilities? Anyone with experience good and bad, please share your comments.

Thanks,

Sheryl

Sheryl can you post us some conformation pictures so we can get an idea of how bad this is? Also a little more history about the intended use of the horse may allow us to be a bit more helpful. Use the upload attachment button on the bottom of the Post Form.
