But where on the horse is a "high suspensory" vs regular suspensory??

Are high suspensory injuries within the upper portion of any leg...and
I'm thinking rear leg here.  I didn't know an U/S could visualize
something within the thicker region of the stifle/lower hip regions.

Please reply on list - also very interested in this topic.

My gelding had a strained supsensory last spring, and there was another spot
on his high suspensory that has looked "a little suspicious" (might be an
old injury) in two US's.  The core lesion is all filled in now, so we're in
that "gradual loading" stage.  My vet hasn't yet ruled out a return to
endurance competition, it's a wait-and-see-how-he-responds situation.  I'm
sure it's very case-by-case.  However, I have read so many grim opinions
about high suspensory injuries and would love to hear if there are any
success stories.... or if I should just start shopping for another endurance
mount now!
