a horse that had a knee operation as a foal and whos front legs are,nt completely straight? see below.
Quote :- As a new born foal he had mild carpal vagus (deviation at the knee) and our vets recommended that we should allow them to do w procedure called a transphyseal screw procedure which is where a screw is placed across the grown plates to delay growth on the convex side of the joint to allow the joint to straighten. The screw is then removed. This procedure was successful however it did leave him with a cosmetically larger knee but we were assured this was of no consequence to his future soundness. :- Quote
He is a beautiful trakehner only just 7 and still a bit green. He lives at the stud where I used to work so I know the horse well. He was only backed last year due to lack of time. He has allready passed flexion tests and I would have him vetted.
see recent short video below.
