Question
hello there again thanks for the last advice i am also would there be any ongoing effects of ring bone and also do you think there would be any deterioation that could could devoilop over a period of time in the ligaments and tendons, hoof ect any advice would be greatly appreciated thank you for your time

Answer
HEY CHRIS...

The ongoing effects are that the ossifites will most likely grow larger with time, work and stress to the area.

The bony growth can irritate the ligaments and tendons through
movement of the joint.
Again...injections in the joint capsule will and often help,
but not always a "cure-all" along with a strict shoeing program.

Thanks again...
