The conformation of the limbs of foals, future athletes, has become the focus of attention of physicians and breeders in the last 20 years due to the contribution of a poor conformation to a higher incidence of musculoskeletal disorders and consequently greater economic recovery of individuals with correct angulations. The aim of this study was to identify the main angulation disorders of Crioulo foals from the first to the eighth month of life, highlighting those that are the most frequent. A total of 77 foals of the 2007 generation were evaluated, they were chosen by a process of simple random sampling of a total of 164 foals raised on the properties analyzed. The study was conducted in two stages, the first evaluation was performed with animals within 1 and 4 months of age and the second with the same foals aged 5 and 8 months. Considering the two evaluations, the main angular defect observed was toed-in, which was observed in 47 foals. The identification of defects in angulations after birth or its appearance is extremely important to the veterinary, allowing immediate intervention by performing trimming and/or changes in management or surgery for correction of angular deviation.
