Everyone's replies show up in our comment box below, so be sure not to peek! We pick our weekly winner with a random draw, so if you give it a try, you'll be included. :)

This week's question:

Name five horse gaits.

Visit the Hayward website to check out their fabulous machine washable show jackets!

The answer to last week's question is a bog spavin a swelling of the tibiotarsal joint of the horse's hock but does not cause lameness. It can be caused by a deformity in the joint or by a lack of minerals or supplements. The joint becomes full of excess synovial fluid and horses that have straight hocks are more prone to developing a bog spavin because there is an increased strain on their hocks.

Congratulations to Mira Lea Tardiff who won our draw!

Walk, trot, canter and gallop are the four basic gaits. Some breeds have additional or alternative gaits like pacing (Standerbred), racking (Tennessee Walkers), or tolting (Iclandics).
