What are your opinions on a horse with capped hocks, does it lower thier price when wanting to sell, does it affect them when it comes to competing etc and would it put you off buying a horse with capped hocks??

Just wanted to know your general opinions and advice really??

I wouldnt be put off by a capped hock if I was buying a horse to compete. i have no interest in showing and it wont affect anything else.

Sorry to hijack but wondering what people's opinions were on similarly "capped" knees - ie those with soft fluid swelling but no underlying joint problem or lameness. Would those put you off - bearing in mind they have no implications for future soundness.
