How is ringbone like arthritis?

Ringbone is the term used for osteoarthritis in horses, It is alsoreferred to as bony arthritis, of the pastern and/or coffin joints ringbone in the pastern joint is called high ringbone, and in the coffin joint is is referred to as low ringbone. Arthritis is any condition that causes inflammation of the joint. Osteoarthritis forms when the inflammation within the joint creates enough damage that the body lays down bone in an effort to heal the damaged tissue. This bony development development occurs at the joint surface or the attachment sites of the joint capsule to the bone. Another term to describe this type of damage to a joint is degenerative joint disease (DJD). The same sort of thing happens in humans after rheumatic inflammation

What are osselots?

I presume you are refering to osselets. Osselet is arthritis in the fetlock joint of a horse. Osselets usually occurs in the front legs of the horse, because there is more strain and concussion on the fetlock there than in the hind legs. The arthritis will occur at the joint between the cannon bone and large pastern bone, at the front of the fetlock.Osselets is caused by stress on the fetlock, which results in a stretching of the joint capsule. The early stage is called green osselets, and is characterized by a hot, soft swelling at the fetlock. If inflammation damages the cartilage of the joint, the swelling may become chronic and permanent. The joint capsule may also thicken.Eventually, the bones of the joint will become involved, causing arthritis, pain, stiffness, and periostitis (new bone growth). The fibers of the joint capsule will also increase in size. The long pastern bone may also eventually chip at its front edge, which will leave bone fragments in the joint.Conformation that encourages osselets to occur include short, upright pasterns, because this conformation promotes concussion.
