This fact has been repeatedly demonstrated in this country as well as elsewhere according to Quitman, Dalrymple and Merillat. A number of states have passed stallion inspection laws stipulating that animals having such exostoses as spavin and ringbone cannot be registered except as "unsound."
"Stacy, you are quite sure you want the black?" he questioned. The fat boy nodded. "He has a slight ringbone," Tad informed him. "All the better." "Why do you say that? I never knew that a ringbone increased the value of a horse." "A horse that wears rings must be a pretty classy horse," replied the fat boy. "Me for the horse with the jewelry.
Lameness which typifies ringbone is of the supporting-leg variety and by compelling the subject to step from side to side, marked flinching is observed, especially in periarticular ringbone; causing the affected animal to turn abruptly on the diseased member, using it as a pivot, likewise accentuates the manifestation.
"Vewve Clikot's universal an' suv'rin remedy," said David, reading the label and bringing the corners of his eye and mouth almost together in a wink to John, "fer toothache, earache, burns, scalds, warts, dispepsy, fallin' o' the hair, windgall, ringbone, spavin, disapp'inted affections, an' pips in hens," and out came the cork with a "wop," at which both the ladies, even Mrs.

In all forms of incipient ringbone except rachitic, the first manifestation of its existence, or of injury to the ligaments in the region of the pastern joint which causes periostitis, or affections of the articular portions of the proximal inter-phalangeal joint, is lameness.
By visual examination one may detect the presence of various swellings or enlargements, such as characterize bruises and strains of tendons where inflammation is acute. Spavin, ringbone, splints, quittor and many other anomalous conditions may all be observed from certain proper angles.
My uncle blind, and afflicted with the bots, the ringbone and the spring-halt wanders about the commons, trying to persuade somebody to shoot him. And here I stand, old and sick, to cry out against the wrongs of horses the saddles that gall, the spurs that prick, the snaffles that pinch, the loads that kill.

Once out of sight of the farm buildings, the lad pulled the mare to one side of the road, where he examined her carefully. "Huh!" he exclaimed. "Heaves, ringbone and spavin.
