Okay, my other mare (not Lacey) is a 15.1hh TB x Connemara. She's 10.
Last year she was diagnosed with artritus in a hock joint they don't use. She had a treament, but complications have left her mechanically lame. Basically she's unsound because her hock doesn't work 100% the way it should but she is in no pain and is 100% capable of doing everything I want. 2 different vets have seen her and along with x-rays and tests, this is what the results were.
At the moment she's just being hacked and doing a little bit of schooling with the occasional small pop. But I'd like to take her out once a month or something because she really used to enjoy shows and stuff.
I don't really want to do much jumping, even though she can because I don't want to push it, but is there much else?
I've been told even with a vet certificate I'd not be allowed to do any shows (other than in-hand) with her.
She used to be fantastic at ridden showing but I think I'd be marked down a lot for it? (it's about 2 out of 10, her lameness)
Would she be allowed to do le trec or long distance riding, anything like that?
