What problems are connected to long and short pasterns in horses?
The pastern is the horse's shock absorber. The pastern bone should be at a 45 degree angle which should match the angle of the shoulder (shoulders too should have a 45 degree angle). If a horse has too long pasterns it can cause a break-down of the pastern and possibly pull or overtax the tendons that run down the back of the leg. Tendon problems can be serious and can render a horse completely lame with a very long healing time. If the pastern is too short and/or upright it can't do it's job as shock absorber. The continued concussion as the horse moves stresses the rest of the bones and tendons in the legs. You can get stress fractures, knee problems and other problems especially the front legs. A horse that has short upright pasterns will usually be a very bumpy ride. The stride can be short and choppy and hard to sit at the trot and canter or lope. Too long or too short pasterns are a conformation fault that can lead to lifetime problems for the horse and owner. If you are considering breeding your mare make sure her conformation is as close to perfect as you can get. Don't count on the stallion being able to 'offset' conformation faults. If you are buying a horse make sure you get a vet check including x-rays and ask his advise about conformation faults and what to watch for when choosing a new horse.
