interfering behind

I had a gelding who knocked himself behind as a four and five year old, less and less as he got older and fitter.  He would usually just brush himself, or knock hoofs, but very occasionally would break the skin on the inside of one fetlock.

 

He really did grow out of it. I used brushing boots at his first couple of 50 mile rides. He didn't have any particular conformation faults that you could blame but he was unusually tall and big boned for an Arab and I think that was the cause - too young and goofy to organise those big legs.
