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.verworking young or unfit horses at speed or in tight circles may cause splints. The uneven loading of the limb in tight circles places excessive force on the medial splint, which can cause it to move excessively relative to the cannon bone, causing tears in the interosseous ligament and periosteal reaction.
1 The term Pivot is sometimes used to describe a turn on the hindquarters of up to 360 degrees where the horse has to keep a rear pivot foot stationary. 2  In 4-H competition, pivots of 90, 180, or 360 degrees are sometimes used in pattern classes to introduce youth riders to reining concepts. Circles: the horse must perform large, fast circles at a near-gallop and smaller, slow circles at a lope. 2  They should be perfectly round, with the rider dictating the pace of the horse. 3  There should be an easily seen change of speed as the rider transitions from the large, fast to the small, slow circles.
