Abstract
Structural correctness ultimately determines the value and usefulness of a horse. Regardless of whether the horse is a favorite at the Derby or a youth’s pleasure mount, length and angle of the bone structure combined with skeletal correctness play a critical role in the usefulness of the athlete. As the number and severity of structural problems increase, the expected life, activity and performance of the horse are severely limited.
