Just booked my mare in for scanning on monday, with a view to leaving her behind for surgery on tuesday. She 'did' her annular ligament 4 years ago and after some rest came back fit and healthy. She then went lame again just before Christmas, came sound initially after vet treatment but is now lame again. The plan is to cut the ligament. The vets assure me that this is quite common and she should come back fully sound and workable - but really?! Will I ever be able to enjoy a fun ride or work her hard in the school without worrying? Has anyone got experience of life after having the ligament cut? (it sounds so drastic!) (she is a 13 year old welsh cob used for dressage, showing and all riding club activities but with a less active schedule than i would like as I have had 2 children since her original injury!)
thanks
