8-08

Marquette through 2009 started to bow in her front right leg you can see the start of it in the above pictures.  Unfortunately because she was growing and she was compromised she never stood a chance.  The vets kept checking her leg and it continued to bow out under the pressure of compensating for her weaker backend.
