7/10 lame good resolutions please

My friends beautiful boy has gone lame while out on a hack. Vet has scanned and said inflamed tendon sheath with two other areas of concern. It’s a very big worry. Could be just a sprain? Some positive vibes please for my lovely friend.

Really hoping it’s nothing serious

Really hoping it’s nothing serious

Thank you. I’m going to see him Sunday. He’s 45 minutes away so can’t just pop over but everything crossed.

A friend of mine hunted for several seasons on an ex racer with a leg as big as a fence post. They can recover from really serious tendon injuries but it takes a long, long time. My understanding is that the most successful protocol these days will be box rest with short walks in hand several times a day, followed by a very careful return to easy ridden exercise and then turning away, preferably in a herd in a big field, for up to a year.

The worry is the extensiveness of the damage and whether there is an underlying cause for it other than a one-off injury. I'll cross my fingers for her.

I really hope he doesn’t have to boxrest and it’s just a minor strain

He’s such a sweet horse and would cope but it’s still miserable for them. He’s in full livery so at least there provision for it.

Fingers crossed for the horse and owner

He’s going to Liphook next week for work up so for good outcome. Will have surgery of required.
