Ridecamp: [RC] Splints and Club Foot

1.  I have a horse with splints on both front legs.  I 
wasn't sure what they were, so I casually asked a 
farrier one day if they were splints and what I should 
do about them.  He said "yeah they're splints - just 
don't look at them!"  I have had only one ride vet note 
anything about them, and I never had a problem with them.

2. Club foot - more of a problem.  Same horse 
has "clubby" foot and was indicative of all sorts of 
balance issues.  Cost $$$$ and time to fix the issues, 
but in our case it was fixable.

This is a horse that just "happened" on me.  I didn't 
deliberately choose him.  Knowing what I know now, I 
might not have bought him unless I wanted a project.  
But since I already had him, I spent the time and 
learning curve to do what was right by him.  I am very 
happy to compete with this horse now.
