My horse has been showing progressive exercise intolerance over the past few months and has developed a whistling noise on inspiration at anything more than a trot. Had him scoped last week and he has laryngeal hemiplegia. Vet also listened to him in fast work and is referring him to Geoff Lane. Her guess is that going by the scope result, the noise he makes and his degree of intolerance of fast work, he will most likely need a tie back rather than just a Hobday.
I'd kind of geared myself up for him needing a Hobday and did a lot of research about it, but now I'm worrying as a tie back seems a much bigger deal.
I'd be grateful to hear your experiences, good and bad, of tie back surgery.
