Bone spur in horses?
Hey, I'm currently looking for a horse and have found a yearling that would be a good fit.
The only problem is that he has a small bone spur. The owner said they x-rayed it, and the vet said everything was fine.
Since I'm just starting to research this topic, I wanted to ask about your experiences with it. Will it go away with just an ointment? How expensive might the vet bills be? Do you advise against it, or would it be relatively straightforward?
Thank you in advance

I generally advise you from a year-old and from one with such a defect already at all.
if the owner finds this so okay with the overleaf, why does she sell the foal anyway?
and in the sky is fair. who has to ask for an overleaf can’t judge whether the foal “fits”. I assume you’re not 18. so you can’t buy a horse.
That he’s gonna say I didn’t tell you about a subject, does it never hurt? But he won’t 😉 anyway, I’m interested.
And you know that the yearlings fit well because you have experience with foals/young horses? You can already estimate your meets requirements? You have a place in a breeding ground for him? You can invest enough money, time and expertise in training a young horse?
And then there’s the overleaf… That’s not going away, not even with ointment. To what extent the horse is affected or in need of treatment, the time shows. How much TA is necessary can be estimated in advance.
If you don’t have a theme with the fact that there is a possibly not 100% loadable or usable horse, which, however, causes additional effort and costs, then yes.
I’d be too uncertain.
Since I read myself further, I leave it. It’s too risky.
And that it would fit, I mean from the sammed package, if it weren’t so tragic with the overleaf, then I would look at him, only I would like to read in more.
No, he won’t.
An overleaf does not go away from itself. Sometimes, if you’re early enough, you can still do something counteracting, sometimes not (more).
To decide whether or not the overbone causes problems at the specific location and what you may need. the veterinarian is responsible for this.
So if you want to have the horse, there is only one solution: veterinarian call and check (bestly a “independent” TA and not the seller’s home-TA). Before asking the X-ray images to the owner and letting you give them, you can go through them again with the second TA and you may save a new picture.
Yeah, I’ve already got the X-rays. But he won’t. Nevertheless, I am interested in this. This can happen quickly with every horse
I would always do an AKU
