Successful eventers with leg jewelry?

[Eventer2483]

Hello, I was wondering if anyone had a horse with leg jewelry/ugly legs (I.e osselets, bone chips, bone spurs, screw, OCDs etc) who have, in spit of this, been sound and successful as eventers.

My young horse has a handful of small spurs in his ankles and knees, which my vet was not concerned about on radiograph, but I get undeniably OCD about all things soundness. That said, even if my horse gets “broken” at some point, he’s got a home with me, so it’s more of me wanting a crystal ball to see into the future.

I suspect there are more out there with then without. Pretty much all of mine have had something visible (osselots, splints, a curb) and God knows what underneath since they weren’t vetted and this aren’t xrayed unless they are unsound.

If they didn’t have jewelry when they started they will when they finish. It’s part of the life of an athlete.
