right. imo more of a head issue than a knee issue. she's still fairly green, isn't she? i know she ran once at two, and then quite a bit of time off this year. at any rate, hope for a fast track for next time, maybe you'll get a better accounting from her.

I hate to make excuses for her but here I go. Of her six starts, one was a very tough 52K MSW...one was after surgery and a long layoff...KD is a quirky track without knee high grass and very soft turf(you had to see it to believe it)and Wednesday's slop was a first for her. I like to see her catch a fast dirt strip before we give up on her. After all...experience wise she's still a two yr. old.

Seemed OK immediately after, but 48 hours always the telltale, and Chuck didn't like the way she was moving Friday. And she was worse Saturday. More today.

More knee chips. still very sore. Considering options but further racing may be too risky.

Probably be ok to leave in if no more racing. Even with surgery, the prognois is fair at best.

Poor Aldebutante - turns out she really was protecting her knees. I wish her a speedy and pain free recovery to her next career, whatever it will be. I just wish she could have caught at least one break in her brief career as a racehorse.

We need to find her a nice home as a lawn ornament out to pasture, not carrying the weight of pregnancy on those knees?

Do knee chips cause broodmare weight-bearing problems? If so, how??

I can understand how problematic they are for a runner, but for a broodmare, I don't quite grasp the issue they might cause. Please explain....

I've heard that bone chips often eventually cause soreness or arthritis if they aren't removed. If they move around it can cause more damage.
But then I'm not a vet.
At least it's certainly not life threatening.

Ok, I agree that floaters can get lodged in the wrong spot and cause a problem. But how does the extra weight from bearing a foal cause problems from a chip?

I don't know how sore she is, or how bad her knees are, that's why my question mark. Chuck will let us know if he thinks she can be a broodmare.

Horses carry 60% of their weight on their front ends, add the weight gain from pregnancy, and some horses with physical problems can end up with alot of pain during pregnancy. Don't forget horses spend most of their life standing, walking.

I dont think she will have any issues being a broodmare in the near future especially since she wouldnt be bred till Spring and wouldn't start adding weight for awhile. Maybe as she ages arthritis will become an issue but sometimes it doesnt. The question is should she be bred and on what terms?
