Hi everyone . I'll try to keep this short . In February my horse went lame , only slightly in trot but sound in walk . I boxed rested her for 2 weeks but this made no difference so I got the very out . He nerve blocked her right foot and she was sound ! So x rays got took and nothing was found. She was referred to herd and partners and had a full lameness work up and a mri scan . The results were that she has a hairline fracture to her pedal bone on the inside of her right foot . So she has spent 2 months on box rest with a very large hoof cast on made of plaster cast . Once this was removed after the 2 months , she was allowed out her stable 3 times a day for 10 minutes to be walked in hand . After a week she could be turned out in a small paddock for a hour a day , still having walks in hand . Now this is where I could do with some help . It's been over a month since she had her cast off . She's out 24/7 in a small area. She's allowed to be ridden only in walk so we just hack . She's 100% sound in walk in the school . Out hacking if she go downhill she head bobs as she lifts her right foot . The vets have told me to ask for a trot on the road and in the school . So when she trots if you were to just look at her feet you wouldn't think she was lame. It's the head bobbing . In trot she really bobs her head when she uses her right foot. I'm really disappointed. I thought she would have the cast on and it would fix it . I don't know what to do now . Just keep doing what I'm doing ? Forgot to mention she's only 7 , and she's been put in heartbar shoes. How long will this take to heal 
I can't tell you how special my mare is too me. She's my world and I just want her to get better ! Thanks everyone
