/i am not this mare’s owner, i was asked by them to bring her back into work and care for her/
my 8yr irish mare of 15.1hh had an unknown injury to her back/hind legs, causing her to be lame and stiff, unridable, for a few months (current owner brought her at this stage)
we rested her for a few more months and began to introduce walking. she doesn’t seem lame, just needs to build muscle.
we introduced small bursts of trotting but started to show lameness again so vet is coming out next week to check her and get this sorted. she’s a lovely mare with lots of potential.
i’m wondering if she’ll ever be able to jump and gallop? owner says not, but with the right amount of work and time could she? going to be asking vet when they come down.
