F

A condition where a foal is born with flexor tendons that are too long or loose relative to the bones of the limbs, leading to a hyperextension of the fetlock and phalangeal joints. The toe of the hoof is typically raised from the ground the heels or bulbs are used for weight bearing. In extreme cases, the fetlock may touch the ground.
