So sorry to hear you've been having a rough time, and I can completely sympathise. My horse won't mind being turned out alone if she can see other horses, but I'm sure we will have setbacks along the way too. Good luck for your next scan.Hi, she got injured in June, had the 4 weeks box rest with in hand walking, then the small pen. My vet didnt think she was a candidate for surgery at that time as it was mild but there was also a small suspensary branch injury too. She progressed really well, we made the pen larger, then she had a mad moment in the field and made matters much worse, her scan shown it had gone from 60mm to 90 odd mm and surgery was mentioned. We scanned 2 weeks later and the vet was amazed how much she had healed, taking us back to surgery is now not an option, she was barely 1/10th lame and he said I could ride her in walk for 20 mins a day but we agreed to turning her out with the other 2 to keep her sane which I did and on day 2 she got kicked off the other mare!! and ended up with a wound and was lame on the other leg too, hopefully all resolved now. So I havent been back on yet, I wanted to wait until her next scan which is next Thursday and Im hoping we will be able to start doing something as she is bored. She is back on her own again, I darent risk it and I feel mean. He did warn me that she could go back to square one at any point if she ran about and it truely feels like Im on an emotional rollercoaster. Ive kind of let go a bit, I had too, its been a really hard 12 weeks and Im thinking what will be will be as I cant glue her hooves to the ground so just have to hope we come through this.
On a plus note, the swelling is looking really good so fingers crossed.
Hope all goes well with your horse.
