Re: RC: Cannon bones/Tendon size

[DreamWeaver <karen@chaton.gardnerville.nv.us>]

Question:  How relative is the length of the cannon bone?  Just 
curious.  Is there some sort of a formula for figuring that too?  I know 
both of my horses have similar circumferences to their legs but one is 
longer legged (and longer cannon-boned), even though they are similar 
weights.
