    [RC] Offset knees - problem in a distance horse? - Kristi Schaaf


    >From the AERC handbook, Chapter 3:
    "Offset knees are fairly common in Arabs, but they 
    usually do not pose too great a problem, especially if
    
    the condition is not extreme."
    
    Hi all - 
    After months of searching, I've found a 5 yoa
    greenbroke bnice distance prospect, but he's got an
    offset left knee with a slightly turned out toe. It's
    the only negative trait I can find on him, but it's
    just niggling at me. I want him to LAST for miles and
    miles. Anyone who is competing on a horse with offset
    knees, give me some advice. Is all well? Any soundness
    issues? My vet's going to look at him today, but I
    think "real life" stories from distance riders are as
    valuable as a prepurchase exam! 
    Thanks, Kristi
