Hello,
Just a quick question, we've got a lame horse where I'm working, was initially a foot abcess, to the point where he was on 3 legs! (I've never seen a horse so lame in 20yrs+ of being around them)
He's gradually got better (about 10 weeks since first lame)
But is still clearly lame in walk 2tenths and worse in trot.
Am I wrong to say I don't feel happy riding him until he is sounder?
He lives out so shouldn't be stiff, has been being led from another horse for a week plus and still no real improvement?
Cheers.
Ps please don't tell me to get vet/farrier if I was in charge I would. Boss doesn't want to
