hi all,
positive vibes needed .
over the 12/13th june took my mare competing . she felt very flat in the warm up and when i started jumping so was ok over small but anything over 1m she put on the breaks . this is very, very, out of character for her . i retired from the class and came home and straight on phone to vet . took her in for lameness invest as when i put her on the lunge when i got home she looked very slightly short on right hind . vet couldn’t nerve block as not lame enough . xrayed her hocks and noted some slight changes and injected them .
he said give her 4 weeks build up to normal work . 4th week , jumped again and again put the breaks on on anything over 1m . got the vet back out as i was thinking KS or SI issues in relation to hocks . he said work her hard and get my pro friend on her to see if it’s me or her . he saw her under saddle and without and said noticed no issues .
pro friend got on yesterday and she also stopped with her . sent videos to vet who said she’s changing a lot behind and doesn’t look comfortable. she’s now booked in for bone scan and ultrasound of suspensories , if needed, on monday to get to bottom or what’s going on.
my gut is telling me suspensory but we will see . positive vibes needed .
