Weak Check Ligaments

[Christmas Crumpet]

Does anyone have any experience of the above? What do's and don'ts are there?

not exactly, but i would guess the same as weak sdft and ddft tendons... no galloping, no jumping, no heavy going, no hard ground. light hacking and light dressage, really. sorry, hope that's some help. discuss it with your vet, really.

just be very cautious. boots on in field watch the ground both in feild and when riding no pulling through mud and avoid hammering on hard ground too. Lots of hacking roadwork at walk to strengthen as much as possible. Bandages for support etc.

Thanks Miss B. I've done 2 1/2 months walking, 1 month trotting so far and we are getting somewhere. He's got sports medecine boots as well to keep him nicely strapped up and supported and I'm just going to have to take it easy!!!
