| bog spavin |
A soft distension on the inside front portion of the hock joint caused by an inflammation of the synovial membrane of the hock is known as a bog spavin. Faulty conformation (such as straight hocks), strain (resulting from quick stops), and rickets (caused by a nutritional deficiency) may be predisposing causes that result in inflammation of the bursa and an increased production of synovial fluid. It rarely interferes with the usefulness of the horse.
