I would retire her and enjoy having a large pet, if she did well you could try riding gently especially if you have some nice hacking ...

I also have one of these. A beautiful, gentle soul with not a bad bone in her body, but has been retired for about 12 years now. Again...

I'd keep control of her and either retire or give time off then lightly hack at walk (if she enjoys that). I wouldn't loan her again...

Thank you all x I wish she was lame.. she has never been lame, not even on the lameness detector last April. She has a lovely active...

This is probably what I would do.

If it were me I'd worry that EVERY little thing she did in work would be over analysed into "is she in pain, is she lame, should I be...

Mine are both can get lami so I didn’t want much grass for them but it’s the extra work load and finance in the third I’m looking after...

Ah, ok. I'd just move tbh. It sounds like a dreadful set up as you have no grazing.
