I have just joined, thanks for pointing that out. No Sasha isn't on box rest, she was only on box rest for 48 hours and could then be turned out on a small area. i have some hard standing so she is on that. her feet were x-rayed and no mention of NPA. Good luck for you rescan.

yes Sasha was 3/10 lame in trot up at the vets too.

Thank you that's really helpful, ill look at those you have recommended .

What alerted you to it if you don't mind me asking? Sasha wasn't really lame as such she just kept putting a short stride in in walk every now and again. My instructor didn't notice she looked lame. It was only when the vet came out and watched her trot from behind that she said she was creating...

Better than her fores to be honest. I wouldn't have been concerned about her hind limb confirmation and neither would my farrier.

Oh I'm sorry to hear that. The vet is coming out to see her again in 6 weeks. She just said don't ride ( in walk) until doing 20 minutes each day and she wants her to be at 30 minutes when she comes out to see her. I won't be getting on at all until she has been seen again. She has recommended...

I don't know, the handover notes from the vet named it just as suspensory ligament branch disease.

Thank you ill have a look at that link. Yes she had trays of all 4 feet which were sent to my farrier with instructions to have shoes all round, with shortened rolled ties and wide webbed branches on both sides of the shoes to support the fetlock region and suspensory ligament branches. She had...

Following a poor performance work up my 6 1/2 year old mare has just been diagnosed with suspensory branch disease in both hinds and had steroid injections in her fetlocks to help slow degeneration. I really cant find a lot of information on suspensory branch disease and wondered if anybody on...

I've had a Saddle Company, Kent and Masters, John Whittaker and an Arena and by far the Arena is the best in terms of quality, fit and comfort.

I bought a headpiece for my mare who was uncomfortable in every other bridle i tried and i tried a lot!. I sent photos over of her head/ears and they advised they best style for me. It is the only headpeice she doesnt headshake in. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again

I have been in the exact same position as you, luckily he was kept at home so i adapted everything to his needs but when my old mare was pts he was too. I would never ever have sold him as he would have been passed pillar to post and ended up beaten as he'd be seen as a challenge to some. I...

Those who are feeding 1 sachet every other day do you find this leave some hours at the later end of the 2nd day without pain relief?

Thanks The Mule, thats really helpful - it was the 1/2 sachet a day i was questioning really as it doesn't seem a lot although to be fair he seems to be doing ok on it so ill keep an open mind for another few days.

He has been on glucosimine devils claw and turmeric with good results but just needs a bit more
