Long story short - we've got a 17.2hh TB x ID horse with fairly straight hind leg conformation. He's reasonably high mileage (evented and hunted before we got him aged 10, lightly hunted every winter since, with every summer off) . He's now 19 this year
He's had back issues this winter which have been physio/chiro treated up til now, but the cause of these problems have been sourced to his right hock.
He is now showing a reluctance to jump. He is otherwise very fit and well so we are planning to medicate both hocks and see how he feels.
Anyone had any experience of anything similar?
He's sound but obviously feeling uncomfortable if his hocks are put under pressure.
