Suspensories was my main concern that I verbalised at the lameness workup but apparently she’s too sound for that however my internet reading has suggested otherwise.

Sorry, I am grateful for the kind advice and probably too over sensitive for an internet forum at the moment. Being advised to pursue further imaging and vet help is probably all I needed to hear. I just felt at a dead end with it all this morning and tired of fighting and wondered if I...

Sorry but I feel like I’m being made out to either be lying or avoiding taking her now. I regret posting this as I now feel like I’m a shit horse owner on top of the rest of the major crap going on in my life (we won’t even go there). I guess I was just looking for support and a genuine ‘what...

Ok I need to be much more forceful and ask to be referred then. I’d read so much about it before the last visit I wasn’t expecting there to be a case of them saying it isn’t necessary. The cynic in me thought perhaps they wanted to keep my money going into their account rather than the referral...

I’ve brought her back in to…. Flatwork, yes. Is that not normal?! She has not been shown but yes been in the arena. How awful of me. I wasn’t planning to take a horse out the field after 14 months and take her hunting for the first time! I don’t want to keep repeating but we don’t have easy...

Thank you, I agree. Also she she really has the best personality of any horse I’ve ever encountered. She’s so fun, loving and affectionate. Will run to you in the field no matter what, demands scratches. She’s got so much personality and I am completely besotted. She most certainly is not...

She’s been ridden by a fair few professionals now, she’s had help in clinics from well known judges and professionals. She was backed by a brilliant professional. All my lessons have been with dressage coaches who aim for correct way of going. There can’t be many ponies that have had the...

Well my Plan was to state she magically got better and this is a new presentation of poor performance and hoped that was a way around it?

Insured up to £5 k per case with only exclusion being GI tract/colic. Does the local vet do decent neck/spine X-rays or do I push for a referral for these?

This is my dream come true… to find a vet that will take her and find problems.

Those pictures are pretty similar to how she will go. She is the same on the lunge too. I don’t use gadgets ever, ridden or lunging but she looks like she’s spent her life strapped in. As a yearling she came in from the field with a wonky head/ bad neck once and minus a fly mask. It looked...

No she isn’t built downhill at all 😩

Sorry but I was conscious of how long the post was, I was just trying to bang out main events on a timeline. I could write pages and pages and pages so it’s hard to choose what to include. Her first two years on ridden life were spent at home with me having lessons upon lessons. I have done...

Based South UK. She’s fully insured so I was really keen to send her off and find a problem. My vet said she can’t refer a horse without even a region to investigate. I think the back tightness must be secondary to something further though. I suppose I just keep pushing but the reason I...

Owned pony since a weaned foal. She’s had life of luxury for this whole time , with 24/7 turnout and access to a stable. A lovely stable group of 3 in a well fenced field. She was shown at big shows as a youngster ie Royal welsh etc. Even inhand at 2/3, she had a slightly low head carriage...
