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...

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

I sold through RHRH. It was a really good experience, I had loads of interest and he sold to the first lady who saw him, who absolutely dotes on him. Would highly recommend for a horse who either is quirky or like mine had a fair few health issues!

Thanks for all of the responses. I won't take the companion. I have been working everyday on going into the trailer etc alone and he is fine. It's when we start moving. But I do need to take him alone and he does need to get used to it.

So I have a nice new horse who has been travelled in lorry in previous home a few times but not in trailer, I have been practicing but took him out with my older horse in trailer for comfort the first time. He was noisy but did settle, we only went around the block and back. Do I carry on with...

Thank you all for suggestions! Much appreciated.

Any recommendations for vets to do pre purchase 5 star vetting and x rays in Norwich area - would rossdales be the best in that kind of area?

I wouldn't necessarily need x rays for vet fees or LOU if horse is under 10k. That's my dilemma! My budget is on the borderline.
