Duffy was born with contracted tendons in his front limbs. This occurs in all breeds and we suspect that Duffy was a bit bent up prior to birth. It was difficult for Duffy to move around, so at two days of age he and his mum Merinda went off to the Canterbury Equine Clinic. Dr Jo Anna Faircloth treated Duffy with oxytetracycline along with physiotherapy & splints to straighten his front legs. Today he's a normal cheeky foal with lovely straight legs.
