The present study was conducted to investigate the pattern of fracture of 50 Thoroughbred foals in Jeju from January 1997 to August 2001. A total 50 Thoroughbred foals were investigated to figure out the relationship between breeding condition and fracture. The fracture was diagnosed by physical and radiological examinations after lameness test. Most sites of fracture were limb, skull and vertebrae. Age analyzed that the most popular is the 1-year-old foals. Most places of the occurrence of the fracture were pasture, paddock, track and stable. Main cause of the fracture were play, training and foal´s dam. These results suggest that there were the 1-year-old foals have a lot of fracture during play at pasture in winter.
