My nephew's mare had a filly a couple of weeks ago that is knock kneed.  Is this a genetic thing?  This is the mare's second baby and the first one is perfect and gorgeous.

I would let a good vet take a look at her, some babies need a little intervention to straighten them out but it needs to be done sooner rather than later.  I don't think it is very expensive but it can sure make a difference in the fillys future soundness.

They can do something called periosteal stripping, probably spelled wrong, but it stimulates the outside of the growth plates to help straighten the legs out.  Pretty simple procedure, but I wouldn't trust just any vet to do it, go to a good lameness/sports medicine vet.  A really good repro vet that sees and cares for lots of sick or injured babies would also probably be a good bet.

I know.  She is at my sister's house and she said it hasn't slowed her down a bit.  But I can see a lifetime of lameness issues if not addressed now.

They will also wear the inside wall of the front hooves faster than the outside which just makes them toe out more.  Quick touch ups on at least once a week will help also.  We rasp ours every other day if they are crooked, sometimes thats all they need if they are not too bad.

I think she/he might suprise you if you do what Barnman said.  Having her looked at right away would be best, and still would be a great idea.  However a good blacksmith around would be great.  I've raised worse and he's sound as can be at 16.

ETA:  I cried when he arrived and I can't spell.

Talk to the vet about a Perostial Strip. It needs to be done soon. Not a complicated surgery and will straighten them up.

This worked extremely well with a problem filly I had.  Check on dam and foal nutritional balance as well.

I wouldn't think any more than $250.  It has been a while since we had one but it is well worth the cost.  We had a very nice filly in training that should have had it done but didn't.  She could REALLY run, but she absolutely fell apart because of that crooked knee.

I had this done a couple of years ago.  It was at a good horse vet and only $350.  Worked like a charm.
