So had a lesson this afternoon that lasted the total of 10mins!
Poor dizzy went intermittently lame in walk on the left fore. It was all a bit confusing. She didn't seem herself at all to start her walk halt transitions have been perfect and she has been starting to stretch really well. But today she wouldn't stand still or wait for me with halt and she just seemed really tense. Then my friend was filming and just as dizzy did one of the corners she said she was lame and then not and then lame! We tried halt again and she just didn't want to listen and We trotted her and she seemed sound in trot but had her ears back to start off with.
So stopped lesson and We checked the leg and there is the slightest bit of heat above the knee.
Decided to put her in the field (after cold hosing) as after untacking we walked her up and she was sound!
Watched the video and it is very bizarre. Will see how she is in the morning but I hope it's not another serious issue we have had 3 long periods of box rest in the 9 months we have been together plus huge vets bills, endless physio and all round low moral :(
 
Sometimes my mare used to walk a little short due to tension, could it be that? She still does it sometimes if I put too much pressure on.
 
Sending vibes!!There's nothing worse than not knowing!hope u get to the bottom of it soon and it's nothing to worry about!
 
Thank you! I am hoping it was just a tweak and will see how she is when I bring her in in the morning! She just likes to worry me!! Been watching the video over and over haha she does like to keep me on my toes
