Also can you get pony sized bandages? I have some back from when I had my ISH but they are too long for him!
Hi he's in med/hard work, 6 days a week, mixture of schooling, hacking, jumping & XC, he also does interval training once a week on a steep hill. He doesn't brush or over-reach but is now on a couple of weeks field rest in a small paddock with a suspected check ligament strain. Due to this I...
As my pony is now on field rest I'm thinking ahead to when he come back into work. He is ridden quite a lot and I want to make sure that we don't have a repeat of Monday/yesterday!
Would you recommend boots or bandages for ridden work? If boots, which ones - brushing/tendon/SMB's?
Well I am a natural worrier so as you can imagine the last 24 hours haven't been fun... There's been a slight change of plan, following another quick consult with the vet he is out in a slightly larger grass paddock with sports boots on (I have the pair with the extra tendon support - Paul...
I have gel boots which you put in the fridge, I plan to put one on and then that loses the coolness then put the other one on. Today I put an old boot on his leg and then put the hose in the boot for 20 mins, I moved the hose from one side to the other after 10 mins.
Thanks again, sorry if I came across as argumentative :o Will carry on with the cold hosing 2/3 times a day and he'll either have bandages or sports boots on.
Ok will ring vet back tomorrow, did ring today but there wasn't a vet in and wasn't that worried as not much to look at. What can I expect if it is a tendon?
Hi thanks, I buted him because it's an anti-inflammatory as well as a pain killer. He's only had one sachet which should be out of his system by tomorrow morning if I do need to get the vet out. As said there is very little lameness, I don't even think it's 1/10
Hi thanks, surely if it was a tendon it would be more swollen/more heat? He'll go out in the paddock in the morning with sports boots on, paddock is about 6x4m
Hi took my boy for a short hack round the block after a show yesterday. Walk and trot on the road he felt fine but when coming back to trot after a short canter he was lame on his near fore for about 3 strides then fine again. Led him back to the yard and trotted him up, he is fine on the...
