Well this is a new one on me - but amazing (to my small brain) that they worked out the cause of the problem
Here’s a link to the story (with apologies for all the pesky ads - local paper website)

…if you’ve not got the patience for that, this is the critical bit
“Callaho Con Cero, an 11-year-old gelding, had been intermittently lame and following several months of investigations by vets in South Africa, a CT scan at the University of Pretoria’s veterinary hospital diagnosed a bone fragment in his neck.
As local vets did not have experience in the keyhole surgery required to remove the fragment, the horse’s owner contacted Matthew after hearing he had successfully performed similar procedures in the UK. Matthew and his colleague Rachel Tucker, who are both RCVS and European specialists in equine surgery, agreed to make the trip from Liphook Equine Hospital to South Africa to treat Cero.”
What a lucky horse.
