What is weak pasterns?
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.
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.
