Please take a look at the videos (i know their not fab) and give your opinion on wether you think horse looks lame or stiff?

I would like to have seen him trotting. My computer was jumping a bit as he was walking straight, but was working when he was turning and I'd have said on a turn he's lame. Sorry.

He isnt allowed to trot! Had stem cell therapy and still on the walking inhand

Not sure about in a straight line but looked quite lame on a turn to me.

I hope things improve for you as I have been following your postsx

Ah right! poor boy. Don't know the history, when is the vet next meant to check him?

 

[longtalltilly]

In 5 weeks but the vet has said he should be sound by now

Hmmm.... How long has he been walking out for? Could you perhaps call your vet and ask for advise? At least then the appointment could be moved forward if needed

7 weeks - is now on 20 mins aday - spoken to the vet last week and he said may be an idea to get my 'normal' vet to look at him (he was referred to Newmarket) phoned normal vet and he would prefer Newmarket to have a look as they have been dealing with it all! Couldnt get hold of my newmarket vet thurs or fri!!!

Sounds like you're doing the right thing. Good luck! I hope it works out ok.
