Anyone know anything about hock Arthritis??
My boy is a ex event horse,has a few old issues that we keep on top off and he works grand..
But lately theses last few weeks i have noticed him resting abit more in back right hind on my lessons hes not stepping under him self as much as he normally does??!!
also stiff in a morning when coming out of stable?!!
He was at the vets a year and a half ago for a tiny tendon tear in same leg that is all good now n healed n been back in work a yr, the vet did say he does have arthritis but is not causing him any problems as yet but when it does there is things to think about injections etc etc??
So am woundering if now is that time??
Hes happy to work,n very full of life just not working like he was a few weeks ago the right rein feels bumpy thats the best way to explain it.. and am hearing abit more clicking then normal?!!
all advice greatfull )
