[RC] re: [RC] Sidebone - Michelle Fink

Hi Dorothy,

I have had a few of my horses x-rayed for various reasons.

- MFT, 5, xrayed prior to starting NATRC (he had LTLH and we were verifying
shoeing was OK for him), no sidebone.  He is 9 now and was xrayed last year
by the person who owns him now and still no sidebone.
- Icelandic, 7, pleasure horse, has angular limb deformity and toes out
badly on one front leg.  xrayed when we bought him, no sidebone.
- Arab, 4, xrayed for prepurchase no sidebone

Only horse (big QH mare) I've had that definitely had sidebone was a mare
that lived to 22, she had huge sidebone problems and was beginning to go
lame around 17.  She was a pasture pony all of her life.  She was not xrayed
for diagnoses, but the sidebone was palpable (vet's diagnosis).

Happy Trails,
Michelle
