Weak Ankles in Horses Aided by Pasture Liberty
A veterinary note from the National Live Stock Journal advises that horses with knuckling ankles from hard driving should be allowed liberty in an enclosed pasture.

Inquiries on colt weaning favor practical steps. If handled well, foals accept milk substitutes from the dam with cow milk when needed. Provide morning and evening milk, oat-based grain, and light corn meal to fatten. Tie dam in view for gradual separation, hand-milk when needed, then pasture to promote growth. Ensure a warm, well ventilated stable and access to grass for strong development.
