First of all thankyou so much for all the hugs and vibes, I am a bit overwhelmed.
Spoke to Sue earlier and it wasn't good news. Basically the ligament which joins the navicular bone and the tendon is completely shot in both feet. Cant remember exactly what it was called as was in shock still. Very slim chance of him ever coming sound infront, even without the hock problems (which she said were very severe on their own)
She said even if he came sound infront it is an injury that is very likely to reoccur, so she wouldn't even contemplate operating on the hocks
So it looks like my superstar is destined to be a field ornament for the rest of his life
(I know i should probably be sensible and business like and have him pts but I'm afraid I'm too soft for that)
I don't know where I go from here, spent most of my savings on the MRI scan, and now have nothing to event and a very expensive pet to look after but never mind.
So thank you Jerry for trying your best for me, I truly believe this horse would have gone advanced but it was obviously not meant to be
