Injuries, illnesses, and Explosive

Twelve conditions are named across the public tables: cuts, infected cuts, abrasions, infected abrasions, lameness, saddle sores, tendon injury, malnourishment, laminitis, thrush, hoof abscess, and Explosive.

Pasture injury rates in one guide are 10 percent a day for a typical horse, 3 percent for Sure Footed with scrapes only, and 20 percent for Injury Prone including cuts and lameness. Overwork is tied to tendon injury, hunger to malnourishment, and extra weight to laminitis. Saddle sores, thrush, hoof abscess, and the infected forms do not have a cause I can cite line by line, so those cause cells stay empty.

Explosive is what players mean by a horse that feels too wild. It shows on the medical report when the horse has not worked enough, and lunging is the recovery named in the same notes. It can take more than one session. I am not listing medicine prices, because those prices were not in the tables I used.
