A splint bone is a normal part of the horse's leg. It is very thin and tiny and easily broken. When the splint bone is fractured, cracked or injured, we commonly say that the horse has popped a splint. Swelling and calcification of the bone occurs. A horse with a popped splint may be somewhat lame for a while, and the splint is unsightly, but once it heals most horses resume normally as before. Horses frequently pop splints while being worked as young animals. The condition usually is the result of an injury or overwork.

If you jump or work a horse on hard ground the bone in there legs may splint. This could be from dried fields or concrete/ tarmac.
