Locking stifle ligament surgery

[scats]

Unfortunately Nutmeg has now had 2 bad attacks of this stifle issue in the last 2 months.
We are starting her on an exercise strengthening program and getting her regular physio, but the vet today did say that the surgery might be the best option if this continues to happen.

Has anyone had it done? She’s an 11hh companion pony, 8 years, unridden. Just needs to be comfortable to live the life of riley and enjoy normal pony life.

I haven’t, but a friend of mine had a youngster with it and had the surgery as a youngster. She’s now 17 and lived a very normal life as a working hunter pony
