Stifle stories …

[motherof2beasts!]

I’ve been a bit worried something is off for about 2 weeks, I did a walk/trot up but sound , send videos to vet physio etc. anyhow he continued to not just feel himself but couldn’t quite put my finger on it. Until I cantered him in the school , it felt awful so got off and watched from ground, he is really struggling to get into canter and maintain it. It seems like his right hind of almost circling, sent videos to physio he thinks he’s done something to his stifle, he is resting till she has been out.

He’s happy in himself and looks fine in walk/trot. Naturally I’m panicking… has anyone had anything similar ?

Many years ago my mini looked off. She was sort of walking as if she was stamping her hind legs rather than pulling them forwards. I took her to the vet who without even examining her said “she has laminitis” and sent me off home. I was not at all satisfied with that and had a second opinion who said there was something off with her stifles but we couldn’t pin point what. I had the chiropractor out and he worked on her and her stifle gave a pop when he was giving the leg a stretch, and she was suddenly back to normal and has been ever since.

This is what I’m hoping something that can just click back into place!
