I got vet out to scan my mares suspensory yesterday - 12 months post last scan after rehabbing a medial branch injury. Few niggles in last 4-6 weeks and shes soured a bit in her work, not happy to tack, to take out or school (eveything else has been checked). Always a risk of re-injuring the suspensory and our original prognosis for full recovery wasnt good so was worried we had an issue again. Thankfully they were wrong, all good with the leg and vet was positive about her future. The most plausible explanation is sore feet - we’ve been out of shoes 15 months (rehabbed feet with injury), feet have improved a lot but the work we’re doing now, which isnt hard leaves her struggling (and we’ve struggled with boots), so ive put fronts on for rest of summer. We’ll remove come winter to keep on top of these. The irony is i now need to school much less, so i have to get her comfy going out. We’ve worked really hard to get her right so now really hopeful we can get back to where we were pre injury.
