I have a distal sesamoid from the fore foot of a horse that appears pathological on its lower surface and am wondering if it is navicular disease as mentioned by Baker & Brothwell (1980)?
The central and 3rd tarsals on the same side (left) are ankylosed with unaffected articular sufaces (spavin).
Please answer on zooarch

Dear Philippe,

Many thanks for your observations. The bone, along with the rest of the foot, is currently with Dr. Marsha Levine at the University of Cambridge. I have apraised her of your comments.
