> hello all,
 
> Has anyone around come across a foal with relaxed tendons where the fore

How old is the foal? Yes these are not that unusual in very very young foals.
 
> The first treatment of the foal I know of was to keep her quite, splint
> the joint, ect. This seemed not to help.
 
> Next the vet suggested working the horse. It was "encouraged" to walk a

> The horse & mom are now turned out and improvement is better by the day.
 
> What is the future for the horse? What limitations will it have in the
> way of preformance? Will it require future special care?
> Thanks
 
I honestly don't know the specifics about this one although I know several 
babies that suffered through this that are now normal..
