Hmmm, you posted here a while ago under the name jo-archie about the exact same thing. Maybe it's time to get the vet out to do a proper lameness workup instead of relying on back people. If the horse is lame, he needs a vet, simple.
 
thanks for the info!!hes been seen by a vet,had lameness test done :) n i have been refered to back people by vets!!thanks tho:)
 
But from reading your post above and your previous post, he saw the vet last Oct. Since then, it has been a succession of back people, Bowen people and saddlers. The horse obviously has a problem with his hocks and needs to be seen by a vet now. Get a different vet for a second opinion if the last one told you nothing was wrong, because there obviously is.
Is the horse called Archie?
