Thanks guys for your vibes. Unfortunately the news isn't too good.

Murphy has had long term problems with his sacro illiac joint. It turns out that what I thought was a front nearside lameness was a rear near side one!! I'm really upset that I didn't notice it but vet said that it could be that he looked lame in front as he was compensating behind!
You can really see where he has worn his toe down on the nearside rear where he has been dragging it in trot probably for sometime. This is caused by his problems with his sacro illiac joint. Initially this problem flared up about 2 years ago with a similar picture. Unfortunatly there is no cure for this problem and is treated conservatively. One thing that can help though is foot balance. So he had all 4 feet xrayd and we were quite shocked to find that he has rotated pedal bones on all 4 feet and ringbone

So his jumping days are over and his new role is as light hack, once (if) he comes sound. He is going to have 4 weeks field rest then see how he is and hopefully with remedial shoeing he will be a little more comfy.
