This is Thomas Davis' description of the horses in his statement in "The Evidence" He makes no other comment on the condition of the horses otherwise in this statement. (emphasis mine)

"One of the horses was a small bay mare in excellent trim, with a piece of skin off on the inside of the left foreleg about as big as a silver quarter. I do not know whether there was a soar {sic] on her head or not. The other was a roan horse, the pretty racker with a large scar just back of the saddle."

Sorry I was referring to him as John Davis in previous posts as I was having trouble remembering his first name.
