The knee isn't any bigger than the other one. He's forward at the knee, which creates the angle you're seeing.Miss Woodford wrote:No, there's definitely something weird there.mariasmon wrote:I don't think it really is.

There may or may not be a little calcification (arthritis) in that knee but, as others have said, a shiny coat plus strong sunlight produces deep shadows that can definitely be misleading in a still photo. A video could be the next best thing to seeing the horse in person, and might provide an answer.Miss Woodford wrote:No, there's definitely something weird there.

Monterosso is nice, a little light in leg bone, and I don't think he has a very attractive head, but overall nice looking.tachyon wrote:Monterosso(GB) at Darley Japan

Storm Cat wasn't exactly known for producing sound and correct offspring, though.swale1984 wrote: Animal Kingdom is gorgeous too. Shame about being a bit over at the knee, but I think that's something that may not transmit if matched with more correct mares. Heck, Storm Cat had horrible knees and he did alright!
I know that, but he WAS the highest priced stud for a reason. I stand by what I said about AK though, if he is paired with mares that are more correct in the legs, his flaw shouldn't be a problem.Miss Woodford wrote: Storm Cat wasn't exactly known for producing sound and correct offspring, though.
