Ring bone is a type of osteoarthritis, an athritis of the pastern or the coffin joints (which are in all 4 legs), or both. This is also known as degenerative joint disease. If often occurs in horses with poor conformation, or use on bad surfaces (such as galloping on pavement), horses with high stress careers (racers/jumpers) and can even occur from bad shoing. Its not a death sentence but there is no real cure. The horse must be "managed" for the rest of its life and best for it to stick to light work on soft surfaces.
