Lameness film

[GSD Woman]

Am I the only person looking forward to the film? I remember back in the day unless a horse was really lame the horse war ridden and expected to work. I love the idea of learning the more subtle signs of discomfort.

I watched a film about signs of discomfort some time ago, long reined Woody yesterday and have been worrying about the wrinkled up nostrils I could see at times. He is going to get a thorough checking today.

I had to Google this. Do you mean this one due on September 30th.

Yes, it should be good. Dr Dyson saw my boy and diagnosed his problems even though he wasn't *obviously* lame to most people - turned out he's so severe that he's going to be let go before winter, he's just a very honest and good boy! I'm now starting to tentatively look for a new horse and the ridden pain ethogram is how I will be viewing potential horses going forward. The thing to bear in mind with it, is how many signs a horse is showing - there needs to be 7 or 8 I think to be deemed significant. Can't fixate too much on just a swishy tail (which was my boy's biggest sign of pain!).

Yes, that is the one. I saw the trailer on H&H last night. Looks to be very informative.
