Abstract Background The Icelandic horse is a pristine breed of horse which has a pure gene pool established more than a thousand years ago and is approximately the same size as living and extinct wild breeds of horses. This study was performed to compare the length of the skeletal growth period of the primitive Icelandic horse relative to that reported for large horse breeds developed over the recent centuries. This information would provide practical guidance to owners and veterinarians as to when the skeleton is mature enough to commence training and would be potentially interesting to those scientists investigating the pathogenesis of osteochondrosis. Interestingly osteochondrosis has not been documented in the Icelandic horse. Methods The radiographic closure time of the appendicular growth plates
