Yes I had my physio treat her the week after her first remedial shoeing. She had quite a sore back from being lame, but having that worked off she is much better in terms of body now
Thanks for your reply. Box rest is probably a bit harsh on my end, she has been in a large paddock with her 2 friends through the day, 9-5pm and I bring her in at night when I finish work😃
I should have included that in my post!!

Hi everyone, looking for some opinions on bringing my horse back into work after a minor hoof imbalance. My mare went slightly lame around 6 weeks ago, the vet xrayed and found a minor hoof imbalance. She was sound on nerve block from the hoof and nothing else showed in the xray, so we know this...

Thanks to most for their kind comments about trying travelling without the partition, I had considered this but needed to hear some positive experiences from others! Going to give it a go today.
Can I ask - did your horse lean against the partition and use it for balance? Mine has his legs spread for balance and also uses the partition but still can’t cope, I’d worry that if I took away the only thing holding him up then he would just fall over?
