Black holes on a scan have IME meant damaged suspensories, but I might be well off track on that.

Close but no Cigar. The big black hole is a tear in a Superficial Digital Flexor Tendon. It's the big one you feel running down the back of your horses cannon bone.

This was too much of a hole and also a reinjury of the same area to make stem treatment possible. So box rest, walking then turned away for a few months. The horse did race again.

That is a very close up. I'll see if I can find my wider one with all layers in.

Top one fractured femur.

Bottom one tumour in neck or are they lymph nodes?
Not quite (I think the lumpy things on the neck are probably its crop as we’d been crop feeding but will admit it did confuse us a bit) the reason for euthanasia was a fractured clavicle (if you look at the horseshoe shape that the wings attach to you’ll see it’s caved in on one side)
