UC Davis gets the PETscan and will be also be used in scanning progressive laminitis too!

No place to comment on the above drawing , but have wondered about the early phase of development, but thought that exercise strenghtens bone?
And sorry , but find no way to minimize this above

Is that just a normal growth pattern without specific exercise , just playing and grazing? Extensive play with others, ie; running/chasing in paddock , and regular trotting and cantering sets would/should increase bone strength.
But I’m not experienced with that so maybe Amy can answer?
