I'll make this short. Horse is lame on off hind. Had nerve blocks and we know that its pastern or lower. Vet out again next week to do the only two nerve blocks left known to man, pastern and coffin joint blocks.
Had X-rays and they're really good. Tiny bit of side bone and tiny spot on coffin joint but vet says nowhere near enough to cause the degree of lameness we're seeing.
Horse is barefoot, always has been. He's 14 years old. Never had a lot of work or been hammered. Always been sound as a bell, so very frustrating at the moment. It'll be 6th vet visit next week and I can feel a trip to Newmarket coming on if we can't pinpoint exact area.
Thoughts please? Thank you
