In my experiences, absolutely!  I have ridden 4 Arabs that all developed 
injured suspensories.  I began to wonder why...all were my horses, so I 
wondered what I was doing wrong.  I came to realize that because I loved a 
very fast extended trot, I encouraged that in all these horses.  Common 
denominator, hyper-extension.  I stopped riding that way and stopped looking 
for horses with a big trot.  A very painful lesson......those were all very 
good horses, and I ruined them by my ignorance.  But at least I learned.....
