Description: Sickle-hocked horses have too much angle or set to their hocks, roughly forming the shape of a sickle from the hip down. These horses are predisposed to curbs, hard enlargements of the plantar ligament on the rear cannon bone below the hock. Never-the-less, some sickle-hocked horses may have useful performance careers provided potential soundness issues are dealt with promptly.
