Hello
I was wondering if anyone can answer this for me.
Im wanting to know what usually causes angular limb deformities
In the scenario that both parents are fine with straight legs but the foal isnt.
Foal turning out from the knee in both front legs and a very symmetrical fault (a bone or joint problem not a farrier thing) back legs are fine
What can cause this?
1. Diet (lack of something)
2. Weight of mare whilst pregant (foal squished in uterus)
3. Recessive gene
Any thoughts or advice would be great.
