My final Sol update

I have actually just gone cold. I simply cannot believe this. This seems so so unfair to you. You've been amazing with her and she looked so bloody good the other day on the lunge! I'm speechless

Sarah i am so sorry xxxx
The virtual HH world is more than just a computer screen, over the past 4 years i feel like i have got to know quite a few peoples horses even though i have never met them. Ginas humphrey, your sol, Jules' zeb, Kirstys Henry, Rosie CBs Oskey pops etc etc.
So it is so sad when we hear bad things happen to these neds

I'm so sorry to read this, and hope you know just how many people would do anything to take your pain away, if only there was a way. What a beautiful horse, it's desperately sad.

(((hugs)))
 
ISHY I am so sorry to read this, doubly sorry because it pretty much mirrors my girlies problems...

I hope that when you speak to the vet / farrier etc you will have some direction to go in as I'm sure right now nothing will be going in.

I'm so pleased your vet eventually listened to you when you were telling him there was a problem.

Best wishes to you and Sol
 
I totally sympathise with you and Sol. I am in exactly the same position as you with our horse of a lifetime. He has been amazing and adores his jumping. He could be exceptionally strong and would throw a buck in when asked to do flatwork (he hates it). We were told by many people that he was a bolshy, naughty thug!! I just knew something was wrong.

He was diagnosed with navicular by MRI and has had 2 x Tildren drips. Sadly, he has also gone lame behind (diagonal sp?) and it appears the problem is with his sacroiliac area.

The vet initially told me last week that I need to PTS and he will never be a competition animal.

My Farrier totally disagrees with vet and says that he has a horse with navicular diagnosed 8 years ago and it is still going strong (hunting etc). He told me to turn him away for a year and he is convinced my horse can come sound and be ok for hacking, hunting etc.

When I asked vet if this was an option, she said "Oh yes I have seen plenty of horses come right after having all shoes removed and turned away". She says the only reason she suggested PTS is that I am NOT covered for LOU and he was my daughters competition horse. In an ideal world, I would not choose to have 2 horses BUT, if I can turn him away and he come right, then I am more than happy to have him as a hack for me.

Having spoken to 2 people in our PC who have horses with navicular, they were both shocked that my vet suggested PTS. One of them has their horse barefoot and are careful of the ground, but, he still competes with their daughter. The other person gave their pony a low dose of bute to keep him comfortable and he was amazing at his job, he was also very happy.

They both feel that I have other options to try before I PTS, I will give him every chance before I make that decision.

Our lad did NOT cope with box rest at all and has spent the last 4 months in and its been hell for all concerned. My vet suggested turning him out in the school but he went berserk and just wanted to be with the others.

In the end, I decided that he was so unhappy and as his future is uncertain, I would allow him to go out in the field (on his own though with others on either side).

At this stage, I feel it was the best thing I could have done as instead of charging round school or manically box walking, he stuck his head down and ate and came in totally relaxed.

I wish you luck tomorrow and await your update, so sorry but believe me, I know what you are going through and it really is hell and like being on an emotional rollercoaster.

Just take one day at a time and if the worst happens, do not beat yourself up because you have done everything in your power to help Sol.

I have come across plenty of people who say "shoot it and replace it with one that can do the job"!! It is nice to hear that you do not have this opinion and just want to the best by your horse and I hope the vet is more positive tomorrow
 
Oh Crikey, I had been willing the vets to find a cause and now I wish I hadn't. You must be beside yourself
