Toes out

Hi all, hope you get this since the mail seems messed up lately. I have a
question. There is a arabian next door that they are selling for a song
because he is to much horse for them:} Sounds like a great endurance horse
to me. Well the only thing wrong with him that I can see is that he toes
out just a little bit up front. Thats it! I think this is because his
cannon bones are slightly off-set to the outside. He is sound, clean legged
and 9 years old. Can you all tell me how this toeing out could effect his
gate, or soundness doing long distance riding? I can't figure how his would
make him interfere. I can see how the cannon bones off-set like that would
put pressure on his splints but he's never popped one and he is old enough
that the splint bone is fused by now. So what do you all think? He is
priced dirt cheap!
