I have just had my mare back from a bone scan and work up and it looks like she has torn her middle patella ligament in her stifle.
I’ve done a search on here and nothing has come up which is not surprising as it’s a rare injury but if anyone has had any dealing with it, I would love to know outcomes good or bad.
I have a feeling I already know the route I’m heading down or 6 – 9 months rest but its more long term return to ridden work. This has been an ongoing hindlimb lameness that got worse since she started doing less work which threw us off for a while, she has done some periods of rest as well as very light walk work since June last year.The horse is 11, very low mileage and I think it was done going through the fencing this time last year so the fact its been going on so long doesn't make me feel positive.
Obviously I’m working with my vet but they are not getting back to me until Monday so I’m trying to get as much info as I can about it as its quite rare.
