My friend has a 2 yr old miniature colt. It doesnt do any work and has been roughed out most of its life. It was born conformationally sound and has never had any problems so far. However over the last month or so she has noticed that its front legs appear to be going "knock kneed"
He has his feet trimmed regually and this has never been noticed before. I know this can be caused by abnormal growth plates but would a youngster of this age still have them?? I was under the impression if it was to do with this it would be in the first few months of life? Is this something that can just appear at this age if it wasnt born like this???
Is there anything that can be done or is he likely to be just growing funny and hopefully grow out of it??
please help she is slightly worried and not sure whether a vet could do anything.
many thanks on her behalf
