Turned out toes!

[Orthe's Daystars]

OK, its the Irish Bog Cob again. I'm 15 hh, 8 yr old & cremello with bright blue eyes. When I was vetted before my new Mum bought me the man said that although my front feet turn out from my fetlocks I should be OK to carry on jumping, hacking & having fun!! I have done a lot of jumping since I arrived from Ireland & seem to be pretty good at it (I'm modest too!) Now my new Mum is worried that with the ground being so hard she shouldn't be taking me to any parties or hacking faster than a walk. She has also put some vile tasting (but very expensive) joint supplement in my feed. Can anybody out there reassure her cos she's a right worrier?

How badly do your feet point outwards? Plenty of horses out there with less than perfect conformation so if its not very pronounced i wouldnt worry about most work

...you sure you arent pulling a fast one to get out of work?

My right foot turns out worse than my left - when that vet man held up my legs in turn then made me trot away he said I was sound - does that seem good to you?

I LIKE my parties & having all the New Forest to play in.....................So I think I will keep your idea of pulling a sickie till I need one!
