I hope that I am not putting this in the wrong forum, since I am still learning my way around. It is driving related in away.
I have a coming 3 year-old gelding who has sticky stiffles. As he matured now only one sticks at time but you can tell they are both loose, one more so. His conformation is basically pretty good (he is a bit straight thru the stiffles but really nothing major) and the vet hopes it will resolves itself with maturity. He has a lot of basics but I am not planning to start him in harness until that is resolved. I don't see how he could hold the cart with wobbly stiffles, well one now.
Has anyone dealt with that kind of situation before? Is there a hope of a driving career? Any input would be useful.
