An unsoundness is any abnormality that interferes with a horse's usefulness, while a lameness specifically affects its way of moving. Common unsoundnesses and lamenesses include bowed tendons, arthritis, fractures, and injuries to the feet. Veterinarians examine horses for lameness by observing how they stand and move, and how they respond to hoof tests. Many conditions are treated through rest, corrective shoeing, or surgery as needed.

The shoulder joint is a ball and socket joint. It is the major joint connecting the upper limb to the trunk. The shoulder is located where the humerus, clavicle, and scapula meet. The shoulder actually has four joints:
The sternoclavicular joint is located where the clavicle meets the sternum at the top of the chest.
The acromioclavicular joint is located where the clavicle glides along the scapula’s acromion. The acromioclavicular joint facilitates raising the arm over the head.
The glenohumeral joint is what most people think of as the shoulder joint. It’s the major joint in the shoulder, where the head of the humerus nestles into a rounded socket of the scapula called the glenoid.
The scapulothoracic joint is sometimes considered a joint. It is located where the scapula glides against the thoracic rib cage at the back of the body. No ligaments connect the bones at this joint.
Sports injuries are injuries that occur when engaging in sports or exercise. Sports injuries can occur due to overtraining, lack of conditioning, and improper form or technique. Failing to warm up increases the risk of sports injuries. Bruises, strains, sprains, tears, and broken bones can result from sports injuries.

Complete Presentation Piece about Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis is a joint disease that mostly affects cartilage. Cartilage is the slippery tissue that covers the ends of bones in a joint. Healthy cartilage allows bones to glide over each other. It also helps absorb shock of movement. In osteoarthritis, the top layer of cartilage breaks down and wears away. This allows bones under the cartilage to rub together. The rubbing causes pain, swelling, and loss of motion of the joint. Over time, the joint may lose its normal shape. Also, bone spurs may grow on the edges of the joint. Bits of bone or cartilage can break off and float inside the joint space, which causes more pain and damage.
People with osteoarthritis often have joint pain and reduced motion. Unlike some other forms of arthritis, osteoarthritis affects only joints and not internal organs. Rheumatoid arthritis - the second most common form of arthritis - affects other parts of the body besides the joints. Osteoarthritis is the most common type of arthritis.

Who Gets Osteoarthritis?
Osteoarthritis occurs most often in older people. Younger people sometimes get osteoarthritis primarily from joint injuries.
What Causes Osteoarthritis?
Osteoarthritis usually happens gradually over time. Some risk factors that might lead to it include:
Being overweight
Getting older
Joint injury
Joints that are not properly formed
A genetic defect in joint cartilage
Stresses on the joints from certain jobs and playing sports.
How Is Osteoarthritis Diagnosed?
Osteoarthritis can occur in any joint. It occurs most often in the hands, knees, hips, and spine.
Warning signs of osteoarthritis are:
Stiffness in a joint after getting out of bed or sitting for a long time
Swelling or tenderness in one or more joints
A crunching feeling or the sound of bone rubbing on bone.
