Weak pasterns refer to a condition in horses where the pasterns, the joints between the fetlock and the hoof, have an excessive angle or lack sufficient support, leading to instability. This can result in the pasterns appearing too upright or too sloped, which may increase the risk of injury and affect the horse's performance. Weak pasterns can be caused by genetic factors, improper hoof care, or inadequate nutrition. Proper assessment and management by a veterinarian or farrier are essential to address this condition.

What horse is not good in dressage?
For a horse to excel at dressage he must have good conformation. His shoulder and pasterns should match with a 45 degree angle. So a horse that has 'upright' shoulders and pasterns will be a bumpy, choppy ride. A weak topline would prevent the horse from flexing the way he would need to. A horse with a weak backend can't get his hocks under him, preventing the elevation of the front end that enables a dressage horse to execute a nice extended trot or flying lead changes. So I guess dressage should not be about height or specific breed but correct conformation and temperment.
Do all dogs have pasterns?
Yes, the pastern is another name for the ankle bone.
Can long pasterns prohibit a horse from having a career in jumping?
Yes. Although a decent lenght of pastern gives the horse a comfortable ride, pasterns that are too long can be a detriment, especially in the sport of jumping. Long, very sloped pasterns can break down with repeated stress, which of course jumping is. If you have a horse with this kind of conformation it may be a good idea to find a less demanding sport. Remember also to use wraps or protective boots when doing vigorous work with your horse. Added caution:When a horse comes down on the other side of a fence his front feet and legs hit the ground first taking all the weight and concussion. Something to think about with long pasterns.
What does it mean when you say a horses legs are down?
saying the horse's legs are down may mean that the horse is lame, or that the slope of the pasterns is incorrect.
What do long sloping pasterns help a horse to have?
A smoother ride because they can absorb shock better. However, too long and it will be hard on the horse to do anything strenous and the chances of him going lame are higher.
