Ok so my horse is lame on his right hind. He's 1/10 lame in a straight line but on the lunge he's 1/10 lame on the left rein and 3/10 lame on the right rein. Vet is coming up soon to have a look, but does anyone have any ideas what's causing this lameness??? I was thinking maybe...

Hi, A few months ago my horse was kicked in the field (hind leg, mid cannon area) which left a cut that got cellulitis. Soon after this he had to be on box rest for 8 weeks (not because of the kick but because of other reasons) but has now been out in the field for the last month or two. Last...

Hi, A few weeks ago my horse was kicked in the field which left a cut that got cellulitis. This has now healed up but left a solid lump and a lot of scar tissue. My vet was up to see my horse today to be lunged and trotted up, and he came up very lame on one rein on the leg he got kicked which...

I have just found out that my horse has fractured his pelvis, so will be on box rest for the next 2 months at least :( (I'm not even allowed to walk him in hand). A while ago he got kicked in the field on his right hind cannon bone and got cellulitis (which has all now healed) but being on...

Thank you for all your replies :) I did think he looked lame behind but wasn't too sure if I was just worrying too much. He's 7 and was diagnosed with kissing spine a couple of months ago which was medicated so I'm hoping the lameness isnt his back hurting him again! Although thermal...

From looking at the video, would you say that my horse is lame or not? And on which leg? He's had problems with intermittent lameness for quite a while and I'm not sure if I'm just overreacting or if he is actually still lame? Thanks :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwcnmRywgCs

Thank you for all these replies! I went up to see him this morning and the swelling had increased again, so I called the vet to come up and have a look. The cut was infected so he has been given a course of bute and antibiotics for the next 5 days, and a pressure bandage has been put on to...

Yesterday my horse was kicked in the field on the outside of his cannon bone. It left a cut of 2-3cm and a swelling around the cut which was hot to touch. Although he wasn't lame on it, he was a bit uncomfortable so I cold hosed it to help the swelling. When I went up to see him this morning...

For the past couple of weeks my horse has been intermittentlylame in both hind legs. The degree of the lameness can vary from day to day -sometimes he's sound and other times he drags his back legs. He also won’t puton muscle around his bum (from his pelvis / hips area backwards) and both...

Over the past couple of days I have noticed that my gelding has become very grumpy. He has started pinning his ears back and threatening to bite and kick when I am putting his saddle on and especially when I groom him (I can groom his head and neck fine but anywhere past his shoulder and he...

For the past couple of weeks my horse has been intermittently lame in both hind legs, he's not massively limping but is obviously sore. The degree of the lameness can vary from day to day - sometimes he's sound and other times he drags both back legs and struggles to trot and canter properly. He...

The sleep in his eye could be conjunctivitis which can be treated by eye drops from your vet. The weeping eye could just be a blocked tear duct. My horse had the same thing, you can get the vet to fix that too - I think they flush it through to unblock it? Its nothing serious though :)

About 6 weeks ago my horse was diagnosed with kissing spine after bucking me off (very out of character for him) and being sensitive on his back when being groomed and girthiness. He had x-rays which confirmed that his t8, t9, t17 and t18 were very close and causing him some discomfort. This was...
