Did they not scan the hind suspensories? I'd really want that doing too and it's not expensive

No they didn't suggest it
I'm really interested to learn how you've found the regumate?
Has it improved your mares mood and behaviour?
How is your horse doing ET?I know and its very good news but its not my place to tell, so I've given ET a nudge
How is she getting on?
I just thought regarding suspensory, this sounds so much like my Welsh. He was only 1/10th lame after hard work on lots of bute for 2 weeks so we could find the issue, as he was sound but he just didn't feel right to me. Prior to riding on bute he was sound. They often think SI and its turns out its a suspensory issue.. he was very similar to how you described yours was OP. Secondary it affects the SI and I'm so surprised they didn't scan it. May be worth mentioning, the vet said its a niggle that never goes away and hurts more on a deeper/soft surface and they'll be grumpy after working.
To add, my friends horse is on a hormonal jab which is similar to Regumate but its so so much cheaper and does the same (apparently)

Wow, that sounds great. Do you have to supplement any selenium with the vitamin E? From my exam years I seem to recollect that E had to be fed with something, but it was a long time ago so I may be wrong.
ET, I'm glad you found an answer. Did you ever need to give her the alcar you bought?
Rarely need to supplement selenium in the UK and if people are using balancers then their horse will be getting sufficient.I'm not supplementing selenium but I understand people do although I'd be nervous about overdoing it personally.
Oh I am so pleased for you!!
