Just wanted to ask some advice please on conformation.
Im looking at a horse & the owner has said hes Toe-out on all feet - but especially his near fore. The farrier describes it as an 'offset knee. He's not knock-kneed or cow-hocked, and the owner is not sure exactly where on his leg the exaggerated toe-out originates from: some days I think his cannon is turned out from the lower end of the knee, other days it looks like his knee is turned out from his forearm....and on some days, it looks like it's coming from his fetlock! He was Made That Way, so it's not affecting his movement and certainly isn't causing him any pain or lameness.
Should I worry about it? Hes not wanted for anything fancy, just a happy hacker/family friend.
