Question 1

Question
Which of the following is TRUE?
Answer
  • when the horse is walking past you, you are watching for a head bob
  • when the horse is walking toward you, you are watching the hips and pelvis
  • when the horse is walking away, you are watching for fetlock drop
  • it is important that the horse is always walking in a straight line

Question 2

Question
Which of the following tend to have acute onset? Check all that apply.
Answer
  • tendon injuries
  • ligament injuries
  • fractures
  • degenerative problems

Question 3

Question
Effusion is fluid in a synovial structure. Edema is fluid in tissue.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 4

Question
Which of the following is FALSE?
Answer
  • worn heels predispose for navicular disease
  • having a steep angle to the foot means the horse is club footed and may develop suspensory problems
  • if the coronary band is higher on one side of the heel it indicates weight bearing toward that side of the foot
  • having a less steep angle to the front feet indicates that the horse is bearing too much weight in the front limbs

Question 5

Question
Having a post legged stance predisposes a horse to flexor tendon issues.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 6

Question
A dropped hip could be due to muscle atrophy or a fractured hip.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 7

Question
Which of the following is FALSE?
Answer
  • horses will only flex their neck away from you if they are having cervical vertebral issues
  • high lameness is uncommon
  • a hot splint bone area means there is active inflammation, the horse will respond to palpation of the swelling
  • a foot may feel hot if it is covered by the bedding/hay/etc. in the stall

Question 8

Question
By placing the leg in this position, the tendons are relaxed. This make it easier to tell the difference between the superficial and deep digital flexors. However, it makes it a little more difficult to palpate the suspensory.
