  1. I agree with Newmarket- she's right. Once a splint has formed and calcified, the horse can be worked normally again, and in whatever sport you choose. About the only thing such an animal won't be able to do is win conformation classes, which are based on appearance as much as they are on manners and ability under saddle.


  2. A "splint" in a horse is an injury to the leg resulting in a bony growth that causes pain and inflammation.

    Once the splint has formed and the horse is no longer lame you can continue to work the horse as normal.
