Yes except he has no saddle and they can't afford one ATM. I can get him one but do I want to commit if I am not sure. I like to be in control so would want full loan and would get everything agreed in writing. He is huge ATM but I think there's a nice pony hidden under all the far!

Hi all so the boys suspensories are breaking down again so there is no way he can sustain a level of ridden work. Gutted is not the word. There is a pony on the yard who is not ridden very overweight but a nice sort. Would I be mad to have it on loan and see what we can do. He is safe to hack...

The vet and I both think this could be a stable fracture which occurred a long time ago, he was with travellers with a short time and was driven and he could have gone over in the cart, he has always carried his tail to one side which when he was vetted at 4 he was sound and the vet thought it...

So decision made for now! Not having bone scan done atm, going to hack a mates horse and maybe have a few lessons. I dont think he will come right long term as he has too much going on and I cant cope with this rest rehab rest rehab scenario where i think the end game is going to be the same. I...

Yes it makes sense! They are definite issues but I think they are secondary to what ever it is we haven't found. Vet reckons if we do scan it's a 20 to 30 percent chance he will come back to work which isn't great odds

The sacro iliac has been injected no difference suspensories seemed better after 6 months rest and shock wave. But he still lame worse under saddle.

No horse on livery which if I then want one to ride means 2 on livery which is double the expense. I am not sure I can even be bothered to get another one he was going to see me out as it were as I am 65 this year. But what would I do instead sit home and knit?!

2600 approx!

So as some of you are aware I have ongoing problems with my boy arthritis, psd and possible sacro iliac pain. The next stage is a bone scan, the vet is confident we will find the cause from the scan but his gut feeling is it will not be treatable, so he will have to be retired to the field. He...

Because he is quite chunky he has xrsyed all the neck and spine on the side but not from above but like you say probably a waste of time.

So the vet has recommended 3x options - bone scan/xray above the spine to check dorsal processes or retire him. I think I have to go for the bone scan, I dont think the outcome will be good.

Ii get the rehab thing but this does not look like a weakness he is really quite lame especially on the turn

I have considered ulcers but the vet says it looks mechanical and he eats well, looks bonny good coat etc. I think it will be a bone scan, i think he may have an old fracture somewhere,

Hi again, so after the SI injection he has had a couple of weeks off as I have been ill, ridden last night still not right. I am at my wits end with this, what else could it be? foot ruled out, si injected, suspensories sorted and back and neck x-rayed and all clear. So its either somewhere deep...

Vet has eliminated neck and back so that only leaves the sacro iliac do that has been injected I now have covid so once I am back out will ride him and see if there is any improvement vet says this will be immediate and very noticeable fingers crossed
