A bone chip occurs in horses when they either bang against something and a sliver of bone pops off the main bone or they are worked harder than their bodies can handle and a bone chip breaks off. The location of the bone chip and any type of surgical history will factor into whether the horse can be ridden or not. You should have the horse Radiographed (X-Rays) and checked by a equine Veterinarian to see if the horse is sound for any type of riding.
