No previous lameness issues. Hacked every day. Was very good at his jump clinic three weeks ago. So, over past three evenings, after being tied up to be groomed etc, he’s stamped and lifted his rear leg up high (3 or 4 times) while being taken to the mounting block. Absolutely fine once mounted and walked away. I’m worried it’s stifle issue. I was poo picking for an hour tonight and he showed no signs while grazing etc. But done it again this evening after being tacked up. So, something is wrong. I’m worried as I already have a field ornament due to ligament issues and lost my TB 4 years ago. I can’t go through another mechanical problem. If it’s locking stifle, would it come on so quickly I.e over three days?
