Regular Posts: 93	Anybody have experience with a young horse having shin splints? Any lamesness/soundness issues? I looked at a 2 1/2 year old that has splints. Not sure if I want to purchase him with this issue. He has no lameness but you can see them and feel them on each leg. Not sure if they will be an issue down the road when he is ridden or competed on later in life. Any advice would be helpful.
