How do I know if its a stone bruise???

Brought the pony out for a hack last Thursday and when I asked for a trot he started to limp Not a really noticeable limp though.

It's the right hind.

Still limping today but not as bad. No Heat in leg whatsoever and when I trot him up he can trot but just limps a little.

Don't know what to do an experienced horsey person says he justs needs a little rest

If its a stone bruise would it not be worse????And how long does it take to heal????

Feel so annoyed as Pony Camp is on next Tuesday and I've been waiting for AGES to go

Feel so sad now
 
Ok, here’s the thing I don’t understand, you have a lame horse and you are not sure why.
The horse has now been lame for nearly a week, and a ‘horsey’ person says it just needs rest.
You on the other hand are desperate to get the horse sound so you can go the PC camp
What am I not getting here, CALL YOUR VET!
 
Couldn't agree more with Moorman.
If your horse has been short on one leg for a week I would personally see that as the horse may as well be lame!
You need a vet if he/she is not improving after this long.
And PLEASE do not go to PC Camp with a lame horse just for your own benefit!
 
Hi - you sound really disappointed but it's good to ask advice though and you are sensible to realise that being lame means you won't be able to go.

It could be anything but as it's been a week, it's probably best to get the vet in now. Hope your pony is fighting fit soon :)
