I'm just thinking about it for now. I know there are a lot of beautiful horses that need homes, but I would be breeding and keeping the foal to eventually become my competition horse, not breeding to sell. :)
She injured her tendon in the field, it wasn't bad but as I was ill and didn't see her for months, my friend who was watching her saw that she was sound and thought she was fine. Eventually we found out that she had injured her pastern but it had healed wrong so that caused her to be lame...
Hi! So I'm thinking of breeding from my mare after an injury has stopped her from continuing a showing career, (vet has assured me that she will be able to carry and birth a foal no problem). My issue is that she is cremello. I know that with cremello horses you have to be careful with the...
Just a quick reply, I wanted to say what it is just incase anyone else has this problem.
FINALLY! we have found out the problem! Because she sits back on her heels, that isn't great to start with but she tore her tendons and they started to heal, but have healed wrong, causing the lesions to...
Just came back from the vets where she had a nerve block in her coffin joint, made no difference, so she had around eight xrays and on two of them it showed a line on the back of her pastern. So the vet isn't sure whether she's got a stress fracture on the back of her pastern or if it was just a...
The head vet is coming out tomorrow, if he can't find anything we are getting a third opinion.
The thing i just cant understand is that she is her normal self, no sign of pain at all, (hoof tests included), until she trots, she's not as bad in walk. She's happy and mischievous.
On box rest...
Before the pastern nerve block, everyone thought it was her shoulder (even the vet), she isn't moving properly and cant turn tight corners at all, then after the pastern nerve block she has confused everyone:/. we treat her as if it is laminitis, she gets a hay net on a night, and small one for...
aw she's gorgeous! I have a cremello connemaraX i have a full face mask for her that protects her from UV rays, but when she has suncream on her hair falls out so I have to have an long long fly mask on whenever she is out in the summer, the only good thing about this bad weather is that she...
She definitely doesn't have laminitis, any problem with her navicular or gravel. she's had two nerve blocks in the back of her pastern and was sound, how when she doesn't have it, it looks like it's coming from her shoulder.
she's been on box rest for two weeks today and went out in a small...
she had a nerve block in her pastern and seemed to get a little bit better but not completely, he just gave us some bute and said to leave her shoe off and if she doesn't get better we have to go back
thank you for the link:), would the vet not of noticed any signs of laminitis when he looked...
she saw the vet on the 27th of March, her feet were a little hot but nothing major. She was better trotting in straight lines, when it got to circles and tight corners she was really struggling, but the vet did have a really good look at her feet and said they were ok
Well she had an x-ray on her left front foot and that was fine, but it did shift from her right leg to her left leg, but the vet did check her right leg and said it was fine. She also stands normally, like, she doesn't tuck her back legs right under her to take the pressure off or anything. she...
I think we might try box rest, it's just, when she's on box rest she goes insane. She's one of those horses that loves being out, she also kicks her door when she's on box rest and I don't want her to do any more damage :/
