Hi, I have a little mare who will be 3 in may. I have just brought her in (a week ago) from a very wet boggy field and she is now stabled ready to start her education. She was in for her first winter and handled well, but I have now noticed she is a bit trippy, im sure its just babyness, taking in her new surroundings and being bum high at the moment, she doesnt always trip, but sometimes it seems as though shes sort of sliding her front feet along (that sounds worse than it is but only way i can think of describing it.) I would have thought that considering the field she has come from she would be inclined to pick her feet up well?? (to get out of the bog) So was just wondering if this is common, this is a bit of a sore point for me and I am paranoid as I once bought a 6 year old horse that turned out to have navicular and this was the first sign so its all very unfortunate. Thanks
