Hi, my horse was kicked in September and sustained a fracture to her splint bone and injury to the lower suspensory and outer suspensory branch , she is still lame and still on box rest although walking in hand 10 mins per day.
She was scanned 21/12/18 and it's still showing an enlarged suspensory.
I'm tempted to turn her away for 6-12 months and see if it heals with time however she does have recurring swelling of the suspensory so I'm unsure if the vet will agree to turning her away.
Does anyone else have a similar experience and what did you do? How long did it take for your horse to come sound if they came sound at all? As long as she is field sound and can live the rest of her life as a field ornament I will be happy as right now the likelihood of being ridden again seems impossible.
Thank you
