re the KS, having had a horse treated by the RVC and having spoken to Richard at Cotts who's considered a leading expert, the both said you shouldn't gon on xrays alone for KS and you need a bone scan to detect if it's active or not. So without that I don't think you have the full picture...

Maybe it's true when they say misery loves company, this thread is a little bit of therapy for me too! Can def sympathise with the post injured horse syndrome as I am toally paranoid now and getting pretty good at spotting lameness and when my horse isn't right (which seems to be a lot of the...

There are a few options for treatment for KS and SI and def stories of people getting their horses back fit and well enough to work, although at varying levels. Def worth having an investigation and talking to your vet. Great FB Group too called Horses with kissing spine. Lots of positive...

Another useful KS thread! Sorry to hear you're going through this CPT. Interested to hear that you and vet are going ahead with surgery. Mine's had steroids and vet is reluctant to do surgery as they seem to be working, and wants to see if the rehab is enough to sort the issue out. TBH, it...

Agreed !

Photos in cr tend to be horses ridden so not always that obvious to me what top line looks like on untacked horse. Prob easier to tell when it isn't there! Mines got quite a curved back so even harder to tell although has a much better covering all along her spine now and now developing...

Sounds like the right kind of work, which would normally build muscle (if HHO is anything to go by!). Agree perhaps a feed issue in terms of a muscle builder, which is likely to be protein based. Not sure if that is a good idea for a good doer though as I'm feeding mine a protein feed to...

I like the idea of speshul stirrups ;). I ride in a close contact but I do have a dressage saddle, duh, so will try that and see if it reduces waggle factor. Using the whip doesn't seem to sort it but maybe I'm not using it right. I need to use the leg aid to keep her bum from scooching in on...

I have the same issue and tend to stand up in my stirrups rather than fold managed once to do it right by thinking of pushing my bum back and my hands forward, so bum and hands basically pushing away from each other. Really worked. Horse then got sick so haven't jumped for ages but hopefully...

Yes thought that might be a tad short notice for you lol but I only saw it on the day. Not well advertised! Fun to watch though.

Well done on keeping him well. Nice pics

Toady at kimblewickhunt country fair from 1.45. Only just seen it advertised !

Tsk agree I like measles posts. Look fwd to seeing her back on. Button pushers annoy me. If you don't like a post don't read it. Can't see why anyone should act as self appointed forum police. I realise for v offensive posts there should be an exception but really how often are these things...

Exactly!

Tempted to give it a go. I'm not into dressage comps but do enjoy schooling ! Nice way to set yourself a challenge, see how you're doing and get some feedback without plaiting n travelling etc
