I have a big 17hh+ mare who went lame/unlevel behind about a month ago after turning herself inside out in the lunge pen. After having her back done by a chiropractor and seen by the vet I was advised to have another vet who is also a chiropractor, accupuncturist, owns and runs a rehab centre etc to look at her. She told me she was a-symmetrical and that her left side was very weak (I have always known this and we have worked on this for the past couple of years now)! When trotted up she appears 6/10s lame but I was advised to work her in walk in straight lines for a few days then gradually increase her workload and include leg yielding etc to start her using her left quarters. She is still trotting up 6/10s lame but hasn't worsened (This is after 10 days). I'm getting the vet/chiro back out to her in a couple of weeks. Just wondering if anyone has ever had anything similar? Or any advice on supplements that may help her? (It seems to be muscular weakness more than anything) Many thanks!!!!
