Anyone seen the recent Lucinda Green video with Tom McEwan on FB?

Rossdales sent my friend home with a flea in her ear and told her she needed to learn to ride. Her horse was diagnosed by AHT I think a year later. They stopped investigating after a while because they were finding so much wrong with his back end that it was just pointless to spend more money on a horse that was clearly going to be retired and was actually pts, but they suspected more was wrong than they found. He was still being schooled and doing small jumps up till that point. Incredibly stoic horse let down by any number of trainers and big name vets.

I have the utmost respect for vets but this and *ahem* a previous thread that was deleted featuring a notorious vet with strong views on soundness in competition horses is yet another lesson in professionals are not gods and we need to be critical thinkers.
 
Many years ago my arab started giving a small buck during canter transitions. I had broken him myself and he was a horse who had never bucked. The vet came, had a look, said there was nothing wrong and to 'work him through it'. I ignored him, got another vet, and my horse ended up having a scintigraphy examination in Bristol to try and find the problem. Result: inflammation in multiple joints.

The late maxocob stated p1ssing off in canter.

Vet opined that it was behavioural and to ‘work him through it’ but this was new behaviour and I took him in for a lameness work up anyway.

PSD both hinds.

I was told by multiple professionals that Polly was ‘naughty’ and needed riding through it.
I insisted on a scan and she had PSD. Mild but chronic.
She didn’t exhibit anywhere near the behaviour on this video.
