| The Native breeds seem to cope better than the more finely bred types, where windgalls may appear. |
| Although usually benign, windgalls should be regarded with suspicion in the presence of lameness. |
| Many horses have windgalls and they are not usually considered a problem, but it does sound as if your horse's windgall is abnormally swollen. |
| When these sacs are overdistended by reason of an excessive secretion of synovia, they are called windgalls. |
| In general windgalls are more common in heavy horses with more upright conformation. |
