Good article.  I've never read much about the sesamoids and that's odd as these fractures happen a lot.  Marty was retired due to a fractured sesamoid.  Luckily he had a breeder/owner who took him back to the farm to heal for a year.

He did have a great owner, an even better one now!:)

Interesting results in the research of TB’s and how they train
