Hi, I am after your thoughts. my mare, fit, iSH competes, lives out. I have had her almost 5 years, never been injured, is a tough mare, has gone lame behind yesterday.
she hacked out sat & sun felt better than ever, no problems. but yesterday, went out for a little roadwork and she didn't feel right behind in trot when I was rising on the right diagonal, couldn't feel anything on the left diagonal and then she had a few strides of feeling really wrong. so I immediately pulled up and walked home. she will be in on box rest until a vet can see her but there is no heat or swelling and she is perfectly happy weight bearing on both hinds. i don't think it is foot related. I am worried it Is something serious, what do you guys think? if it was a ligament would you expect some heat/swelling? many thanks in advance
