What would you fail the vet on?

I was thinking the other day; all horse owners should be x-rayed after death to see how many bones (mostly toes) were actually broken vs how many they thought they’d broken.
This thought followed being trodden on again. (Foot still hurts 2 weeks later, I’d be surprised if anything was broken but I think he hit the little toe joint which is the bit that’s still tender)

Lami-prone, (should be muzzled). Unpredictable (should be muzzled).

I had a CAT scan on a fixed broken shoulder and they told me I had broken a rib as well, but the only time my rib had hurt was after falling off a horse onto my own fist two years before, so I did it then.

My right shoulder is dodgy which causes stiffness through my back. If I were a horse, I'd probably have some kind of compensatory lameness on my left fore as well.

Probably wouldn't pass any kind of wind test at the moment, either!

Have broken my collar bone three times, bone damage to right shoulder which would render me lame on my right fore even if my elbow was not constantly painful also causing lameness, muscle damage in my left for and the same issue with my elbow so bilaterally lame in front I suppose, so both fore leg lameness may be missed unless nerve blocks carried out.
Left foot historically broken in 8 places causes and intermittent lameness to my left hind.
Currently sporting an cannon bone and fetlock I just due to a fall (in a very slippery shower!) jury is out on how bad that damage is just now.
Suspected broken bones in ankle just over a year ago so that may show on xrays.
Broken bones just above left fetlock many years ago again may show on xrays. A
Also mangled broken finger tip resulting in ongoing issues.
I don't think the vet would ask for me to be trotted up the first time, I would probably fail walking out of the stable. ?
Still more than capable of a hard days graft day after day and happy to do it.
