Hello everyone,

Thought I would post an update for those who have been following and giving advice.

Well, we got there and yet again he was not that lame. He was simply short on a few strides. I insisted that I wanted him xrayed though. Luckily my very kind farrier just turned up and looked at the xrays etc with the vet

Xrays have not picked up anything serious, just a few minor things.

Picture below sums it up pretty much;

I have basically been advised that before shows/sponsored rides etc to give danellon the day before, on the day, and the day after. Also been advised never to jump on hard ground.

I feel relieved that there are no serious issues but also a bit dodgy still as we are basically *hoping* that he settles into his new shoes and comes sound xx
 
thanks for the update fiona and fab diagram!!

At least you have a box of tricks to try now and farrier has seen xrays so knows what he is dealing with.
 
Thanks for the update (never posted on original post as didn't have anything useful to contribute but interesting reading!), fingers crossed for you it will all be sorted with the eggbars.
 
Thank you for the update, was wondering how the two of you got on. As others have said, at least you now have a plan of action to follow and know a litle bit more about what you're dealing with. Lucky boy, having such a caring Mum who is doing the absolute best for him. Now I know you're quite local to me, you'd be very welcome to come and have a borrow of Che if Rocky needs some time off.

Brilliant news, I am so pleased there is nothing sinister going on. He is obviously a very delicate flower.
Rest assured you are not alone in this even though sometimes it feels like you are!
