Horse 1 is a 5-year-old Hanoverian mare who presented to the Veterinary Teaching Hospital of North Carolina State University for investigation of acute onset of severe right hind limb lameness of two days’ duration.
Upon physical examination severe distension of the right femoropatellar and medial femorotibial joint was observed.
Lameness was seen at the walk characterized by a shortened cranial phase to the right hind stride. Passive movement of the right hind limb including flexion of the upper limb was resented.
