RE: Re: Indian Thumb Print

There was an article recently in The Whole Horse Journal about sweeneys.  I
don't know about Indian thumb prints, but the sweeneys mentioned in the
article was a debilitating injury.

I have heard them called sweeneys and one of our breeder friends calls
it
the "mark of Allah".  Haha!  :)  I wouldn't think it would be a cause
for
concern.  Our stallion has a good sized one that doesn't interfere with
any
of his activities.
