Okay #horsetwitter I did a big dumb. Bought my first horse, a 6y OTTB. I relied on sellers vet telling me he had side bone. My vet came out yesterday and it’s definitely high ringbone. Likely now a 2 year old untreated injury. He doesn’t show any lameness but I’m upset.

I am lucky with a good job so maintenance doesn’t scare me but long term prognosis is worrisome. I got him to be a trail horse, his demeanor is fantastic. I’m not an eventer , but a trail runner and thought a horse would allow me to enjoy PNW mountains as I age.

Any insights from anyone who has seen this in their horse? How did it affect their exercise level? Any recommendations for treatments, shoes, etc that have helped?

Hey there @StruggleBusEq would love to hear if you have any insights to the above thread. Thank you!!
