What a nightmare I got to the yard this morning and got Ryu out for his brekkie as per then when he'd finished lead him round to the outdoor school, I noticed he wasn't right nodding a bit and seemed v stiff, checked his legs nothing obvious. Put Bailey in the school for a roll too, and watched Ryu clearly lame, led him back to his stable and seemed allot worse, even stopping!

I can't belive it super gutted he did so well the other week at the RC dressage and has been fab to ride this week I jumped him on Monday and he felt amazing so much more forward, and is enjoying his work so much more. At the same time I'm fuming as the YO harrowed the field last night - with the horses still in it!!!

When me and James arrived all the horses were stood pinned to the fence while the YO sped around the field in his huge tractor with his new pneumatic harrowing thing on the back, I was astounded and expected fireworks when I went to fetch mine in, but Ryu was ok and didn't seem to bothered, but obiously I don't know what had gone on earlier, they could've been galloping around for the duration for all I know and the muddy bit at the front of the field is so rutted and deep, I'm suprised they're not all lame.

I feel guilty as well because yesterday was only the 3rd time they've been out all day and I only kept them out because I had a works meal out and I didn't want to muck out twice, so all this and I'm hungover.

I've arranged for the vet to come this afternoon, as I have meetings till lunch, and Ryus happily munching in his stable, but I just have this horrible feeling, its his shoulder and it'll be weeks of box rest. gutted.
 
(((((((((Good Vibes)))))))))) hopefully it will be nothing serious! TBH they normally dont put any weight on the leg if it is their shoulder! May not be same for all but in my experience that is what happens!
 
We've had a lot of shoulder injuries post christmas due to the ground being so horrific. We've been torn between trying to keep them out (we're firm believers in getting horses out) and worrying about them keeping sound.

Mine had 2 weeks off with his shoulder after doing bambi legs in the field when I was literally a few metres away from catching him to take him in.

Will cross fingers for you. With the ground conditions, he could very well have just pulled something which, while its annoying, at least isn't serious.

ETS we've had 3 cases of that too post christmas

I'm praying its something trivial, its just so typical of something like this to happen just as we're getting somewhere. He just looked so sad and pathetic, not Ryuish at all. I don't mind resting him but it seems such a shame to have him stood in now the weathers picked up - but then I'm only speculating, its so frustrating. I hope it is just pus in his foot.
 
Yea i know its horrible when they're going well and then something happens

Im sure he'll be fine though. Try not to assume the worse and remember, the weather is set to change and be awful soon so even if he ends up on box rest, it might not be such a bad thing (and you will be able to stay in the warm instead).

Let us know what the vet says and try not to be too down about it (hard though i know)
