I've taken time by the forelock and fired off a query to the LMASociety...


Thats good tsuwm, I have been searching for the answer too. Never thought about it before, I guess because I understood the sense.

I've spent an interesting afternoon researching the phrase about 'fetlock time'. You're right, Luke...its hard to fine a definition on the net. But, when I'm not heading off on another tangent (like time....there was so much about that subject) I did read about....shackles and clogs that were attached to a horse or camel or donkey's leg or fetlock, to slow or restict movement. And of cousre...when a horse goes lame, its usually from an injury to its fetlock, so I'm guessing that would slow down its time, going places!

Anyway....looking forward to getting the answer back.
