My horses hing legs fill up when he's in...and my youngers ones do aswell, Your right, its because he's not moving around so much. If you know hes going to be in over night, and you know they're going to fill, wrap and gamgee and bandage around each leg. The pressure will help keep the bloos...
We had special pads put under the shoes of our show pony as he had huge splints on his front legs....They have helped to reduce vibrations as he moves and the splints still seem to be going down....Its just a case of time and patience i think more than anything.
my horse is 17.1 and i do roughly two big strides and a foot.....Makes hi think about whatb he's doing a works a little harder.....then I enlist a little sister to move them as required..!!
Crystalbank stud I think you a very right. Sitting tight and waiting, although the hardest thing in the world, is the only way you can go about it. If you are happy for your baby to go to these people, all you can do is wait for them to get back to you after looking at the other one...You never...
