isn't as good as it was previously.
I've also had a couple foals with contracted tendons. Have always either
splinted the legs or gone with tetracycline injections right away and by the
time they are a couple weeks old, everything is fine.
I've seen many surgeries involving contracted tendons

Odin's problem may have been different. Perhaps an early, correctable,
club foot which may be a completely different kind of contraction than the
ones we have been discussing? I now remember someone pointing out that he
could end up with a

days if he isn't walking on his toes very well tomorrow.

I have a question about contracted tendons.
Odin was huge, when born to a young, maiden mare. (Vet said of the mare,

Good Morning from Carol Rivoire at Beaver Dam Farm in Nova Scotia -
On the subject of contracted tendons, we've had a few over the years. Out
of 65 foals (I think), we might have had six. We've also had a few angular
limb deformities

Mark,
out of 15+ foals, only one I have bred had contracted tendons. Really,

I wonder if the contraction is more often found in maiden mares with large
foals? My Charley's dam was 15.2 and maiden. He about killed her getting

Trust your horses to be smart enough to
know what to eat - watch what they really DO eat - and act accordingly.

subjects.
Regarding contracted tendons on foals: We had this happen to our first
two foals (both from the same mare and stallion). The first foal (a
colt) our vet used leg

Hi Julie,
I had a colt that was born with contracted tendons, like the ones you
described: so severe he could not nurse w/out assistance. He was the first
foal for a very small mare, by our stallion who is 14.hh and has never
