Calf knees

["Tracey" <tracey@tbt.co.za>]

Hi, all



> I know the calf-knees aren't her only conformational fault -- her neck's a
little short and could tie more smoothly into the wither, she toes out a bit
behind, she's of the more tubular persuasion rather than the cobby Arab
type, etc. -- but the knees are the only things that foreshadow serious
soundness problems.  If I'm wrong, _please_ educate me.



Just a quick aside on the calf knees : some of my polo crosse / polo buddies
swear by horses that are calf kneed, although I've never managed to figure
out why, or get a decent explanation out of them (too much bute in the
blood, I guess!).  Anyway, if you have a calf kneed horse, you could always
market it at the PC / polo crowd!
