Final answer:

No, scars, capped hocks, and elbows are not examples of unsoundnesses in horses.

Step-by-step explanation:

No, scars, capped hocks, and elbows are not examples of unsoundnesses in horses.

Scars are generally considered to be cosmetic issues that do not affect the horse's soundness or ability to perform.

Capped hocks and elbows are signs of inflammation in the joints, but they can be managed and treated, and do not necessarily indicate unsoundness. Unsoundness refers to structural or functional issues that impede the horse's performance or soundness.
