Quick background info. I got her as a 5YO, within a few months she was lame behind. Vet said it was a stifle problem so she had steriod injections into the joint and then 3 months pysio. I started hacking her again and she was sound. I started schooling and she was fine. Moved to a different yard and the school wasn't as good, it was smaller and quite deep in places. She was lame to school and would drag her hind. So went back to hacking and she was sound in walk, trot and canter. I tried to school again and she was lame. I rung my vet and he said just keep hacking and build her up. She had a month off and I moved back to old yard. Friend took her in school on Saturday. This is the first time she has been ridden in a month and the first time in a school in about 5 months. She felt fine (I got on after) What do you think?she is now 7. Sorry about the conversation in the background, my friend just found out her Horse on loan is coming back (I'm using his huge stable atm)

Thank you for the comments.

She was very green when I got her, I was re-schooling her with the help of my instructor before she moved yards and she was going really well, she just started rounding off and softening. But that went on hold at new yard because I was unable to school her. The last thing I wanted to do was push her too hard when she was clearly struggling in there.

I am planning on schooling once a week and hacking the rest. I don't want to ask too much too soon.
