What are some of the ramifications of having a club foot?  I was under the 
impression that if its a mild condition, it isn't a problem.  I would have a 
horse vetted for a lot of reasons, before purchase -- I wasn't aware that a 
club foot was such a big deal (if its mild).  My yearling rescue colt has a 
slight club foot -- is that going to be a problem as far as anybody knows?  
Any and all input is appreciated!
