@Chema & Tom Please feel free to post separate answers. It is always better (for future readers as well) if answers are proposed by someone working in the pair, rather than by weekend stopgaps/stoppers-by.

exostoses

"El sobrehueso se define como un crecimiento óseo benigno a partir de una superficie ósea, también llamado exostosis."

(Statement not only valid for horses, but also for man.)

Peer comment(s):

agree Chema Nieto Castañón : Osteophytes? En castellano al menos, osteofito sería la denominación que me resultaría más natural en este contexto. No estoy seguro en inglés cuál es la denominación más común.

Thanks Chema, you are probably right. Exostoses is a broader term, but as the context strongly suggests degenerative 'exostoses', these would preferably be called osteophytes in English as well, AFAIK.
