Equine Soundness: How to Tell if Your Horse is Sound?
What does it mean to have a sound horse? The term 'soundness' is used by horse owners to describe how a horse moves. For example, a horse is not sound if they are limping or there is a deviation in their gait. However, soundness refers to much more than just movement. It also encompasses a horse's overall health and wellness and ability to perform the job they are meant to do. Horses are considered perfectly sound if they have no health issues and move perfectly without veterinary intervention (i.e. injections or pain control). As you can imagine, perfectly sound horses that never require intervention are very rare. A horse may be perfectly sound for only a short period of its life.
