Hi, so sorry for essay, but would be grateful for some insight from you knowledgable people!
farrier came today and noticed my mate wears the outside of her left hind more than the inside, he suggested a possible back prob? My mare is rising 6 and had her a year. We have done jumping and more recently focussing on flatwork. She is now (for past 6 weeks as have a sharer) ridden 6 days a week most weeks, sometimes less work dependant. She has shown no sign of lameness in anyway and no indicators anything could be amiss other than the shoes. I think it's noticeable now as she is in more work, previously only doing road work a few days in the week.
Her teeth were done a couple of months ago, nothing to note just routine rasp, saddle re flocked a few weeks ago, and instructor is qualified horse and human massage therapist and is v knowledgeable. She is muscling up v nicely and correctly as we are taking care to educate her slowly and properly. Have a lesson on fri and will have instructor evaluate her for the first part then check her over to see for anything. Farrier is remedial farrier so will follow his advice too. Anyone have anything to help me stop panicking?!! I am hopefully thinking that maybe it's just something she does and isn't likely to be a problem! But I always want the best for her so will follow advice of the professionals!
