After a kick in the field.. Being treated at home as leahurst wasnt an option recovering well, tendons exposed and vulnerable to infection within the fluid/sheath.. No lameness yet hoping all tendon damage and nerve damage has been narrowly escaped, anyone had anything similar? DAY 1 DAY...

Hello everyone! Well... yesterday did not go to plan. Holly was a little weary at the show ground which resulted in her snapping her leadrope off her tie ring and getting loose, luckily we got her into a grass paddock which wasnt being used at the oppisite end of the showground. However it took...

Thank you everyone this thread has helped alot given me many things to consider! i do find when she has been out she rides alot lighter and again cant say i noticed anything in the summer although her stance was still the same Will update when vets give us an explanation :)

She has wintered out up until 3 weeks ago when i bought her in a poor condition, since she has been stabled her legs just crusted right over and got progressively worse! shes on antibiotics at the minute to try and clear up the infection aswel as bute to take down the swelling and ease the pain...

Thank you :) once her mud fever is treated im hoping to build up her top line and get some mussel developed across her back, she looks so tiny

MUDFEVER :mad: = Antibitoic treatment and alot of managing! :(

She is out for the other mares mud fever so said she will take a look but if shes not lame and there is no heat or swelling she suspects arthritis to be the cause with the colder weather and her being stabled, i hope it is manageable whatever it turns out to be whats bothering her

Thanks spoken to the vet whos suggested a bute trail as theres no obvious pain, swelling or heat. x
