Thank you!

Thank you - shame but I have a riggy gelding and as they all live together - it wouldn't be worth the hassle of a mare, however nice.

Fallen stock definitely! They do it all the time and are hugely professional. I would use them over a vet, just because they can take away at the same time and are so used to dealing with it all.

I am south somerset

Thanks all - I may find one yet!! I am an experienced rider with horses at home - what I am looking for I would say isn't particularly fussy. Something over 14hh that can hack around fields and will go in a trailer and must be a gelding. The rest I can pretty much work on!

After a disastrous few years with bought young horses - my old boy is now being retired and I have nothing to ride. Due to my purchase last year being not quite right soundness wise. I would rather loan or LWVTB however I am not sure this is really a thing anymore! Any ideas? Or do I go back to...

Thank you - I am going to ring another vet practice tomorrow and see what their thoughts are on scanning suspensories. I will get them out depending on their answer. Thank you for the positive story - I am really hoping we have a little bit of hope left after putting my other 5 year old to...

I am not going to work him to make him more lame - he is 5 - what is that teaching him, that riding means pain. I thought the vets had moved past this as well! He is compensating already in his posture and musculature behind. Thank you - we will get to the bottom of it eventually.

We have already nerve blocked and done all of that - both the specialist and my vet said it could be suspensories if it's not the start of arthritis. We all agree now it is most likely suspensories after ruling out everything else. I would rather spend the money on MRI if scanning is not...

He has already been to a big vet hospital for further investigations, bone scans etc. he nerve blocked to the hock area straight away and noticed the tiniest arthritic changes on x-ray so he had some steroid into joint but vet did say it could be suspensory as well but to slowly introduce walk...

Thank you for responding - I thought it was a bit off that my vet said scanning hind suspensories was not reliable. I would have thought that was the next thing to do. I think I will get a second opinion, before considering mri. My vet is incredibly experienced, so I find it a bit baffling. My...

After bone scans, injections, rest, my vet thinks my new horse has suspensory issues in his hinds - he said it's pointless scanning as often it doesn't show up. But he is sound now - so to ride him and then investigate further when he is lame again and send him for surgery. I am thinking of an...

Connie colfox dedinitely

He was a safe hack - but had Ems and navicular but was sound and sane.

I am in Somerset - I paid for a.month and he sold within a week
