Talk about bad timing. I have a horsebox booked for a weeks time, and my horse is lame.
In the last 2 weeks she's been lame 3 times, I'm starting to think that when I thought she was sound, actually she maybe wasn't
Its her hindquarter that the pain is in, if you run your fingers along her back, putting pressure on, she dips/flinches away when you reach where the back of the saddle sits and also over her croup. She flung her head when I tried to do her girth up on the saddle.
Had my saddle reflocked just before all this started so wonder if its flocked wrong for her :S
Going to ring the vet tomorrow, hopefully they can fit her in straight away (vet on site) But I was wondering if anyone had any ideas, what I should expect vet to do? What tests, scans etc? And also what could be wrong?
Thanks
 
Oh no thats so bad!! Hope she gets better soon!
Does sound like you could be right about the saddle, especially if it all ties in with the lameness starting, also worth having her back checked as she could have pain there!

Good luck anyway and I hope the vet gets it sorted soon!
