Polydactylism (having more than the average number of toes), is fairly uncommon in horses and comes in two basic forms. Teratological form is where the limb is extensively deformed and the horse will typically be put to sleep. The atavistic form is more treatable and requires 'cosmetic' surgery. The excess toes will be amputated and the skin closed over the leg, usually the outcome for this type of surgery is good.
