[RC] Future prospects for bowed tendon/pulled suspensory? - Stagg_NewmanLucy, The second horse we ever had was a big (16h2, 1275 pound) thoroughbred from the race track that came with a big bow on the left front. He was slated to go to the auction when we bought him $500. We named him Russian Roulette because he was a gamble (sounded better than Hurrying Henry, his real name). My wife used Rou for several years for jumping and low level eventing and then he went on do competitive trail riding with both of us. One year I believe before the NY 3-Day 100 the vets unofficially voted him least likely horse to complete But he did and well. Got best thoroughbred at NY 100 one year. Did several 3-Day 100s as well as shorter rides. Was never pulled in a ride. Bow never did both him. So our experience was good. What I would advise is getting an opinion from a good endurance vet, particularly if there is one close by who can examine the horse.
