Pigeon-toed horses have inward-pointing toes and will swing the hoofs in an outward direction while running. Pigeon-toes when combined with a base-narrow deformity can prove to be very dangerous for older horses. In yearlings the bone structure will take some time to fuse, therefore, recovery is possible. However, foals suffering from this problem can only be helped by managing the nonconformity. If not properly taken care of, these equines can suffer from joint diseases and ligament damages. In more serious cases tripping over will be common and permanent lameness also becomes a serious possibility. Hence, always consult a vet to help out foals suffering from this deformity.
