Also in veterinary.
I will be getting the vet but just wondered what other's thoughts on this are.
I've noticed recently that my mare has some slight swelling/puffiness just above/over her off fore fetlock. It's very slight but is definitely there. I first noticed it a couple of months ago when I had the saddler out and we took her in arena anyway to see how she was and she was sound so carried on in walk and trot and at the end, the puffiness had totally gone so thought nothing of it. I've noticed it a couple of times since and it always goes right down with exercise. The other fore is ever so slightly puffy too but again this goes away with exercise. She's stood in quite a lot at the moment as she had lami and so she's in from about 6.30pm until 11.30am-ish when she goes out in a muzzle. She's in light work - hacking, schooling and a bit of jumping (only up to about 50cm). She's sound and seems happy in her work. She does suffer with thrush from time to time which I treat with peroxide and at the moment her frogs seems to be peeling off all over the place. She's slightly footy over the stone-iest parts of our farm drive (but I'm not surprised by that as she's unshod and the stones are pretty big) but is otherwise fine.
