Camera angle really can make all the difference. I think the conformation photo was not taken at the most flattering angle for Australia.

I have seen a horse turned out in a paddock after it was done, and he was fat-legged and moving REALLY slow. I also think it is cruel. But, I have also read that it speeds up healing and toughens them up in that spot.Flanders wrote:I wish people would stop pin-firing horses. A lot of vets do not believe it does anything at all. While I am not a vet, I can't imagine that inserting burning needles into a leg is going to fix it.
If it is on the shin like that, was it for bucked shins? I've seen it on the inside on the splint bone too.

Many seem to be adverse to it nowadays unless the horse is chronic.

Ah, had a feeling he was going to stud- he is very handsome.
I looked over at El Turf and cant seem to locate a listing for him- still in Argentina?

Good bone in Indy Point's legs. Compare his legs with Chuck Berry's.
