Cut a long story short, horse was boned scanned this sept after some performance issues (come down to grass roots level with my daughter). Also has swelling to right hip. Physio and vet both agree needed scanning. Extremely sore SI and back. Tight hamstrings and generally in a lot of pain. Assessed at equine hosp. Typical bunny hopping in canter and subtle lameness. Bone scans X-rays and steroids to hocks and SI. Has gradual rehabbed with reg physio. Lots of hacking and the usual strengthening stuff. Daughter sticks perfectly to it and hacks a lot.
Looking great after 10 weeks. Has now included larger circles and canter. Then suddenly last night things take a turn. Our horse seems sore again. Kicking out and not happy to be ridden. Physio has watched trot up via video and not happy with both hind legs. Asked for vet review and she is out next week.
so I guess what I’m asking is, what are people’s experiences? I am under no illusion and I don’t want leading up the garden path. We love him very much but my daughter loves competing and pony club. We had bought him to take her up a level to be90. We accept that will prob not happen now. But would love a year or two of pony club. I’m so deflated at the min. Had him 2 years and with covid and now this, they and 6 amazing months. I’m so concerned that he’s relapsed so soon.
Are there any positive stories out rhere? Has anyone experienced similar ? Thankyou ?
