[RC] Cannon bone measurements - Jen Simons

Title: Cannon bone measurements

On another horse site I am on I asked about cannon bone measurements.  What is ideal, per 100lbs?  I always heard 8 per 1000lbs, but 7 is acceptable.  And it can get thicker with age.

But in response one person said: the only thing I know about cannon measurements is serious endurance folks wont even consider a horse with less than 9 Dont think she is an endurance rider from what she has spoken of in the past.

Huh? This true?  I would think that would be a pretty heavy horse.  Though, Ive never measured before to compare.

What say you?
