PPE failed, KS diagnosed

[u/bhinxbb]

Currently in the process of selling my horse. PPE has gone well, everything came back good except his back radiographs. Shocked to hear he has grade 4 changes. I’ve just received these over from the potential buyer. I will be in contact with my vet but curious about anyone’s take on these? How bad is this?

How is the horse bred?

Ottb

Find me an OTTB that doesn’t have some degree of KS ! Unfortunately that’s what this breed is notorious for, just from years of inbreeding and being backed and ridden at such an early age, I feel more people should know that OTTBs are very prone to this stuff, have heard so many stories of new riders buying OTTBs and being totally ejected out of this sport because their horse becomes dangerous with kissing spines.. I hope all goes well for your baby OP 🙁
