Thanks I regularly hire that venue and have some others. I hire the venue 2 days before, with dressage boards out and she's fine. She's not lively other than at shows so surely if it were feed/management it would happen other times? She is on a very strict feeding regime as an ulcer horse...

How did you get on? X

Thank you. Great ideas x

I love your post as it sounds very similar to our situation.....dont put yourself down, I have lots of years riding under my belt but not very experienced as I've always had much easier horses in the past!! Plus at 44 I am too scared sometimes!! I will try the lunging again as I did do that...

My horse has been on what I can only describe as an epic journey. Lameness that took months and 2 vet changes to diagnose (very mild KS which has been medicated and rehabbed), ulcers found as a result of that. She's professionally schooled twice a week and after most of 2018 out of work we now...

Hi My horse has just been diagnosed. She has front end lameness and the vet is doing more tests for the lameness. I'll let you know if it's deduced to be the reason for the lameness x

NFU were they only ones who didn't want to exclude my horses back or back legs due to a comment on the (passed) 5 star vetting which said she was slightly asymmetrical. Their view was a pass is a pass, end of story. Good luck x

So an update. She was lame all last week, even trotted up.the field lame. Dropped her at vet on Monday and they started looking at her Tuesday. Sound Tuesday and Wednesday (today). I suggested ulcers on Tuesday (she has other symptoms) so they scoped her today and she has some quite nasty ulcers...

Thank you x

Hopefully when she goes to stay there once she settles they'll see the lameness when they put a rider on. Sounds like you're as frustrated as me!!

Yes she was x

No idea not being a vet myself......They are not 100% saying not back or hind legs but it's not the first place they want to look. I want that particular vet to treat her as I personally feel each time you see someone new you have to go two steps back. I was tempted to leave her there but she...

Hi all We had the physio out for a look and she recommended the vet too which we already had an appointment for. The vet saw her yesterday and she was sound at the vets but I think adrenaline has a lot to answer for that. I insisted she is not right and showed the vet a video of the behaviour...

My horse is nodding her head in trot only with a rider on board. She's totally sound on the lunge. We noticed this a few weeks back, box rested her and brought he back in to work slowly once happy she was sound on the lunge (she began doing it just ridden, then both now again just ridden). She...

Thanks everyone. The saddler came out 2 days ago and he said that the saddle had had a complete re flock before I bought it and it had settled a bit so did some work to adjust. Is this normal? He has also adjusted so it sits a bit more like her gp which sits more to the front. This gp has...
