Fly Boy - tendon strain

[moneypit1]

Poor Fly. He has strained his offside hind. Had it scanned and nothing abnormal showing but he is lame (only 1 out of 10) and swollen (slightly). There is heat in the leg so treating as tendon sheath injury. Gutted but feel guilty as worked him on new sand school which was too deep. Not lame so starting of with 10 mins walk in hand increasing to 15 mins walk under saddle increasing by 5 mins every week. YAWN My poor beauty. xx

Think yourself lucky, a suspected strain is far less boring than a tear! My horse hasn't been ridden since 8th March 2007!
Lots of sympathy though, tendons are a bugger. If God could re-design the horse, I'd ask him to make one without the need for tendons!!

oh dear, hope it heals soon, and that he is back to his normal self. Mind you in this weather it's not so bad not being able to ride!

Poor boy - hope he gets better soon

That's good news, though, Moneypit - sounds like he'll be 100% in no time.
