At the end of last year/the beginning of this year my horse was diagnosed with a bog spavin on one of her back legs, shes sound and the vet said shes fine to carry on as she is as long as she remains sound/not in any pain. About a month or two ago she developed a bog spavin on the other back leg as well (not as bad as the other one). Shes still sound and they doesn't seem to bother her if you touch them, or when shes being riden, she still flys round the field when she wants to! shes currently not on any supplements but i am going to get her some Arthri-Aid because she has started to rest her legs in turn when she is stabled in the day and someone told me this morning that when she rolled in the field yesterday she struggled get up first time and then held her leg up (the worse one) for a few minutes and then was fine. She is sometimes stiff when I pick her feet out and holds her leg up high. Has anyone's horse got/had bog spavins?
