Calling all horse friends!!! As most of you know ke is getting on now she's 17 and age doesn't come without aches and pains as her owner tho I do try to do my best to keep her comfortable and last summer she was struggling with lameness which was pinpointed to be in both fetlocks pretty much atheritus I think so she went to the clinic had ex rays and the steroid injection in both fetlocks and seemed to come sound after more rest but yesterday we had to remove a loose shoe from her off fore it took about 15/20 mins as was well attached 1 side she was such a good girl but obviously uncomfortable and when we did finally get shoe off she kept lifting and flexing her other foot/ fetlock meaning it was obviously being stood on that 1 leg was very uncomfortable!! Well it's been playing on my mind sorry for waffling on I'm starting to wonder if having shoes on is doing her more harm and what really good supplements can I buy irrespective of price I just want her happy and still want to take her out as she loves her work even if it's just a plod twice a week summer is obviously worse for her as the ground is so hard x thanks for reading x
