Pin firing on my TB gelding?

Question

I have a 10 year old of track TB. I do know what pin firing is, and I know it is done on the front of the cannon bone and why etc. My question is this - will they ever pin fire on the inside of the leg (between the tendons/ligaments and the cannon bone)? My gelding has small bald patches that I first thought was a fungus of some kind, but it hasn't gone away - even with treatment. It also has not gotten any bigger or spread to any of his other legs or to my other horse. It is in a very square, organized pattern. Will they ever pin fire there? If so, why would they? He is not lame, nor does he have felxion problems. He came off the track at 2 years old.

Answer 1

we had an arabian that had been pin fired on the inside of  his front lower legs in a distinct pattern from halfway down his knee for about three inches. He was bay and they were white hairs, he had no problems either, but tracking down the trainers, he had been pinfired for bowed tendons.

Answer 2

Yes.  they pin fire all the way around the lower leg.  Depending on where the injury was.  usually it turns the hair white in a pattern of small dots, sometimes its hairless.. cant say what exactly they were treating, but he must have done something
