Horse consistently lame every spring, everytime we get the vet out, xrays, nerve blocks, at one point he was not lame on the leg that showed a possible cyst on the bone and we went on to have a great year despite vet saying he had navicular bute and ride, anyway this year has been a wash out and now lame on the leg with the cyst, vet xrayed and said yep thats the problem, I said yes well that has been there for a long time and no problems hacking out 4/5 times a week. He said prognosis is poor end of story. Anyway I have done my own thing I am treating him for LGL and he has shown amazing improvement. Firstly he has a gworth ring quite prominent which coincides with the onset of his lameness, vet never mentioned it, plus he had a bulging coronet band, so although he is always muzzled he is now only allowed the poor end of the field and adlib 12hr soaked hay overnight, well now he is walking normal no more lifting his leg, not sure if he is lame in trot because I have not tried him (too scared) and the bulge in his coronet band is now smooth. He is bare foot and always has been. Cookies for you folk to get this far and your thoughts please,,, am I clutching at straws
