What do you think - Lameness Video

[3Beasties]

Stuck Millie on the Lunge last night and she is lame, not really badly but she definitely isn't happy.

See what you think...........
Walking




Trotting



Do you think she has just pulled something or knocked herself?

I haven't got the vet out yet, thought I would give her a few days out in the field first and see if she improves. Do you thinks that's the right thing to do?

(Sorry the videos aren't great, I was trying to stop myself laughing as Little Jockey found the whole concept of walking/trotting in a straight line very difficult to grasp

)

Something definitely going on with her near side hind (I think). Doesn't look too bad but short and choppy and stiff. I'd keep an eye on it, watch her carefully for it getting worse and no riding for a bit. If it deteriorates or you have any concerns whatsoever, vet.

What about getting it checked out by a physio? definately looks around the stifle/pelvis area. I'd say limit the amount it's out for a few days to let it rest. It may be something as harmless as a pulled muscle.

Personally I'd be more inclined to turn her out as much as possible - especially if you suspect some sort of minor muscle strain?? Surely better to let her keep moving as SHE thinks fit - rather than stable her up - then turn her out and maybe she might then rush around more than usual and delay muscle repair by over doing it? would just keep any eye and if no improvement over next day or two get vet - or sooner , obviously, if it worsens?
