Hi, He had all shoes off at the beginning as his feet were so shocking both vet and farrier agreed it would do him good for everything to relax. He had 6 weeks box rest and then turnout in a small area. Middle of July he has now been turned out 24/7. Sensible in field. not been ridden since...

Our eventer was diagnosed with a suspensory injury back in February. Vet thought at the time that it could be approx 3months old, as there were signs it had started to heal. We had her back out in May to rescan and unfortunately had only shrunk slightly (did use Arc Equine religiously for this...
