Over at the knee - pics please

[moneypit1]

Please post pics of examples of horses "over at the knee". My new horse is a touch over, would be interested in seeing any other examples. Would be interested in any problems you have come across as a result of this conformational fault. Thankies. xx

i have a 2yo who is very slightly over, but i dont see it as a fault, infact i would WAY prefer it to being back at the knee.

if only slight, then i would see it as a good thing. If excessive i think i can make them more likely to trip

I *think* both mine are over at the knee slightly...
It has been commented by others on both of them although im not really sure!

Hannah both of yours are slightly 'back' at the knee not over, which is a common conformation fault in cobbier/heavier types.

Over at the knee is not a bad fault; a lot of trainers prefer this as there is less stress on the tendons, so to the OP don't worry!!

oh! Numnuts me - knew there was something wrong , just the other way round then!!

My old pony was over at the knee. He developed navicular which the vet put down to this as it alters the blood supply to the feet.
