Well after yesterdays post:-

I took the vets advice and cold hosed / iced Alee's leg popped some stable bandages on and left her in overnight. Yesterday she was not her normal self really down and calm and very easy to handle. Very unlike her. Well today she came out of her box I iced her leg then left her unbandaged for a while while I mucked out etc she was back to her usual destructive self, getting untied pawing thye floor etc etc. So I trotted her up and she was sound

I'm just so confused she could hardly weight bear yesterday.
So as I have booked her in at the vets on Monday I have put her out again, don't see any point in taking a sound horse to the vets so if turning her out and excercise makes her lame then surely thats what I need to do.
Have I done the right thing? Should I bring her in tonight or just leave her out till Monday??
Any advice much appreciated.
 
I think some horses are more wimpy than others .Mine shows a lameness immediately while a friend of mine carried on working with a broken leg and nobody knew.
I would cold hose again for a few days and restrict her turnout incase there is something brewing and give her a few days off.If you feel worried bring her in at night for a rest.
