Own It and Move On Location: The edge of no where	He seems like he really wants to work and get along..... I can't tell you where, but he looks awfully short/sore in front to me. I know you've been working closely with your vet, but I think it's time for a fresh set of eyes on him. He needs to go to an Equine sports medicine facility and get some answers. Be prepared to find out that maybe he needs to do less strenuous activities....maybe western pleasure, showing, barrel racing might be more than his front feet can take.

Born not Made Posts: 2930 Location: North Dakota	Update: Red has a vet appointment in 1 week, with a new vet for fresh eyes. It's over 5 hours one-way for us. That is the farthest I personally have ever hauled a horse, for anything. I hope I get some answers. And as far as the x-rays go, there have been a second set of eyes who have looked at them. It may not be a fracture. It might just be a disturbance in the growth plate. I'll need to get x-rays of his right leg because if that is the case, it will be the same in both legs. The issue does not appear to be navicular. Someone pointed an arrow at one of the joint spaces and that appears to be a lateral cartilage bone spur that will eventually turn into a side bone.

I'm going to step out on a stupid branch here...Somebody please explain what it means to have a disturbance in the growth plate... Hope you find some answers for your pony. It's a frustrating position to be in.

It's a frustrating position to be in. I don't know quite what that means either. :-) But I know that I need more x-rays from different angles (and the other foot) and different exposure power to figure out what exactly that line is.
