Osselets--it's one of those obscure and shadowy terms out of the bowels of a Victorian veterinary manual, something you could lump in with mysterious and vaguely distasteful-sounding conditions called lampas, sweeny, or fistulous withers. We don't hear these terms all that often today; many were problems suffered mostly by 19th-century workhorses with punishing schedules and ill-fitting tack, and some have since been redefined (or, in the case of lampas, are now understood to be perfectly normal, and not a pathology at all!). But osselets seem to have endured…even if many horse owners aren’t exactly sure what the term describes.
