I'm trying to get a picture for you but it keeps saying the image is too big 😣 He's swollen from the point of hock around the inside to the protruding point of the tibia. The whole area is filled to a lovely smooth surface. If you glanced at him you might not cop it straight away but when...

Thanks be positive! I'll try take a leaf out of your name and remain positive, at least until I meet the new vet. If only he could talk, would make life a lot easier!!

I'm going to give the very shortened version of the past three months... Horse got lymphangitis in near hind, second round in 2 years. Swollen from hoof to sheath. Treat intravenously for three days, left with meds. Temp came down, infection subsided over time and so did swelling up and down...

Super :) that's what my plans is, 1-2 weeks in hand then progressing onto long rein in roller for 2 weeks, then onto long rein with tack for about 2 weeks, building up the length of exercise as we go, Once she is working well there I was thinking of starting off with 10 mins out the road with me...

Any recommendations?? :-D

For be positive! That's what everyone's best guess is!! But don't think we'll ever be sure! If I can keep her barefoot I will!! Just need to get on top of it myself! Thank you!!

Oh my!! Thank you so much for all your replies!! This is fantastic!! I'm a little worried about her feet on the roads, being new to barefoot and all? Will she be OK? Not tender? She's not a nutter, but she is a very silly girl and likely to spook at something and then it's every mare for...

Hi everyone, I could really really use the advice of more experienced members please!! I've had my beautiful mare for 17 months, she's been out of work for 13 of those :'( She presented with intermittent lameness on the front left, that I was advised to work through, it got worse and...

Vet said there was slight movement in the pedal bone but with the lack of strain on the ligament should be perfect after three weeks. No rotation as far as he said. I understand barefoot is good, but it's not possible for us at the moment. Didn't have a physio, she doesn't refer to...

Seaweed in feed, and premium black hoof conditioner, love the combo!!

My lady had thrush only a little while ago. Hydrogen peroxide and Stockholm tar sorted it right out. Pop it in tomorrow but sounds like you're doing everything on the button to me! Also leaving him out as much as you can is good to help dry out the feet. Afterwards I found her feet were quite...

Little update, my vet nerve blocked her left foot and xrayed. She is straining the ligament to the pedal bone. Aggressive paring and three weeks box rest should do the trick thank goodness! If she's not perfect then he'll treat the coffin joint but hoping she won't need it! She's a fast grower...

Will do! Haven't checked pulse, but it's on the to do list for tomorrow!

Concave at sole, her hooves tend to be deep. I don't have any pics now but I'll be out to her tomorrow morning and will take some and post them up! Also should have mentioned when I say no heat at all, I mean no change in heat, she tends to run a little hot all over in general. Could...

My farrier is fantastic, his work could not be faulted and he really knows his stuff! Only problem I have with him is he is so good he is very popular and hard to get a definite day/time for his visit!
