Overview
A curb is a swelling on the lower rear of a horse's hock. It is defined in older literature as enlargement secondary to inflammation and thickening of the long plantar ligament in horses. Since the advent of ultrasound examination, it has become apparent that this is not a single condition, but actually a mixture between injuries to various structures and soft tissue swelling.
