Hey guys. Just wanted to let you know that this mare has been going amazingly well pretty much ever since I bought her! It's kinda funny how it felt like it might be a big problem and then turned out the complete opposite. Horses just be like that sometimes I guess!

A few weeks ago I noticed that this had popped up on my 7 year old mare's front leg. Does it look like a sarcoid? She doesn't have any other sarcoids or history of them. https://ibb.co/kxr0W0h

Haha yes yes it's dirt being kicked up. Fooled me too

A couple of bad pics for now

Wanted to let you guys know that the horse has been a great purchase so far - best horse that I play on and we're getting along great. Of course - the issues that we were concerned about were long-term issues so this doesn't mean much. But still great that it's been so positive thus far!

Haha thanks guys. I will provide some updates. playing her in a tournament this weekend ?

So guys... I had *another* vet go and see her, and I gave the vet all the information, x-rays and concerns that have been accumulated. And asked for them to specifically assess this front leg conformation / toe-out issue... and they said it should be fine so long as she's shod correctly! I've...

Straight enough I would say yes

Thanks guys - been on holiday for a week. Yes, my gut is telling me to take caution. I'm not sure it's telling me it's not the right horse though! The farrier came last week, re-shoed and then we took x-rays again. Note several vets have told me that there's no worry about sidebone here. Just...

Thank you. At what age did you buy your horse? and for what discipline/sport was this? how often were they working?

Wait so, what do you think it is? And if it's not conformation, is it something to be really worried about?

The vet and farrier saw the horse again today, redid the shoe on that foot and said she's landing much better now. They're both saying that she does have a conformation (or whatever you want to call it xD) issue, but that it's not particularly bad and suggested that it shouldn't affect her...

This is a different vet to be fair - he's pretty well known! But thank you. I think he might be referring to her balance when she canters etc rather than in the x-ray?

Ok so some feedback from a polo vet:

Thanks guys. I'm getting a second and third opinion on these issues from two more vets
