This article is about the ailment. For uses of the word splint, see Splint (disambiguation).
Splints is an ailment of the horse or pony, characterized by a hard, bony swelling, usually on the inside of a front leg, lying between the splint and cannon bone or on the splint bone itself. It may be "hot," meaning that it occurred recently and is still painful; or "cold," meaning that the splint has completely recovered and there is no longer any swelling or pain associated with it. Bucked shins are sometimes called 'shin splints,'
which involve small stress fractures of the dorsal cannon bone, often seen in race training, and discussed elsewhere.
