I don't have pictures of Fabio, but I suppose I could take some.  He's a
pretty balanced looking horse.  Right now he has a condition that's causing
swelling to the check ligaments on both front legs.  Initially the vet
diagnosed  that condition (sorry, can't remember the name) that is suspected
to be a genetic anomoly in some Peruvian Pasos.  He said that his legs
presented as if he'd been ridden 1000 hours in deep sand.  The horse's owner
followed rehab instructions religiously and he was much improved on each of
the next two sets of ultrasounds she had done.

Oddly, this horse is VERY lightly ridden.  The owner might work him for 10
minutes in the round pen then go to 1/2 an hour or so at gait (is it
termino?) in the riding wing or maybe ride him around the ranch.  He
probably doesn't go half a mile three times a week, if that.

He got out yesterday and was running up and down an alleyway between two
pastures so we really got a chance to see him move.  He was very animnated
and his legs certainly appeared to rotate from the shoulder.
