Hi,
I have a haflinger mare who has just recently become lame - she has incredibly strong legs and the vet is coming to see her tomorrow so I will see what he says. However, I am a bit scared by this because she has such good legs and she has become lame recently. One friend of mine said it's the amount of work I did with her this weekend, even though I work her equally hard as every weekend and she has never been lame before and she has also worked longer and harder than she does on weekends a lot and she has never been lame then so could someone please tell me whats going on if they know and I would also be very grateful if anyone could recommend some products or treatments that would be useful to prevent her from further bouts of lameness. Would be very grateful!
:)
Thanks!!
 
Sorry to hear about your mare.

I think at this stage it is best to wait to see what diagnosis your vet comes up with. Then you will have a better understanding of what you are dealing with.

Let us know how she gets on.
 
I agree, it depends what the issue is, if early onset arthritis then a joint supplement may help, but you need a diagnosis from your vet first x
 
sorry to hear this
as the others say there are so many many reasons why so you will have to wait for vet I am afraid. Even then he/she may not be able to say for sure, that is why so many are referred for tests

hope its something minor for you
