My 17 year old gelding recently developed them in his back legs, and they are pretty big. Its concerning to look at, but it doesn't seem to cause him any lameness or soreness, he is mostly annoyed that I keep poking and prodding. He has lived most of his life as a pasture pet, so the footing/shoeing idea doesn't seem to apply to him, I would think it's more likely conformation for him. Although when he was a stallion he worked himself as if he were in some reined cowhorse championship, running the fence full speed to the end, sliding to a stop and doing some impressive rollbacks before taking off to the other end.
My horse has right front and right rear leg they soft but they a harder feeling now. have been on bute and cold hose, the right back is better, but the front leg still swollen. also on lazer treatment. will lienment help???
Robert Wadham. A horse at my barn had something simular and it turned out quite devistating. No, he did not die, let me explain. He got cellulitis in his right rear leg, ankle, hock and barley up to the stiffle. It would be hot, extremely puffy (and still can be after 2 years), swell, and cause some mobility issues. The owner and coach said it was probably bacteria that entered a small cut and caused it. Now, the owner, and myself, manage all small cuts as genuinely serious (not extreamly but moderately). I had to cold hose him for 10 mins a day, for two months, until the swelling was managed. He needed inmuscular needle injections and oral fluids (which I did, he felt more comfortable, the owner did the needles while I would comfort him). My advice, stay in touch with your vet, ask him or her what to prescribe, or just leave it, could be stress to that area due to over working, or bad living conditions, which, I wouldent think so. By in the worse case, bacterial infection. I hope he's doing better since five month's ago. Sorry I'm a bit late, but I hope that I can help I the future. :)

My OTTB mare’s windpuffs disappeared after two years off the track (and in very light work). I was surprised since I thought they were permanent.
My pony has a bad windpuffs in one back leg and it’s not going down I’m using ice boots, hose everything
I rescued a draft mule with badly long toes and she developed these..feet are fixed but these "puffs" still seem to bother her some.
Could you a video on club feet for horses?
What is the difference in support between boots and polo? When should you use each?
Would the wrap support boots help give better support? I would think yes but have to ask if anyone has had success in this? Please and thank you
My quarter horse has windpuff in all her legs.
Can they happen on the front? On the Long Digital Extensor?
