How long would you leave it to jump?

[nomini]

Alisha had a hairline fracture of the pedal bone which has healed very nicely. She started walking at the beginning of september and has now built up to at least half and hour schooling sessions with the majority in canter as this is the easiest pace to work with her in. I introduced polework and raised poles as few weeks ago. Vet said it be ok to start jumping small fences now, but just wondered what everyone else thinks, she is very fit again and can canter for lengthy periods of time without huffing and puffing! Any advice appreciated

if the vet has said ok then i would do a few small jumps!

Ok, just don't want her to go lame again. I'm sure if vet said is ok then it should be, just paranoid she is going to break again!!!

You know your own horse, The vet has said its ok and you are happy she is fit enough then why not.

why pay for a professional opinion from someone who knows your horses case, and then rely on the opinions of anonymous people on this board for advice??
If the vet says your horse is fit to jump then start her off small and see how it goes...

I asked him when he came out to do my horse's teeth so didn't pay any extra lol! Was just wondering if anyone had had any experiences with jumping a horse that had a fracture, that was all
