Forgive the post overload. For those who haven't seen it already...
TB 10 year old ex PTP finished racing spring this year apparently didn't want to race anymore.
Had horse some 5 months now started off hacking some gentle schooling.
Horse came very poor was checked by vet, physio etc all fine. Horse had small lump on back all said should be fine.
Horse was very well behaved initially no issues at all. Over the last month or so has become more and more naughty first napping then, feeling like an unexploded bomb out hacking finally bronking. Horse doesn't want to be mounted more and more and has classic symptoms of KS.
At first I thought it could be behavioral due to getting fit etc but it is classic KS. Spoke to vet and arranged back x-ray. Went back to physio who is now saying the horse is lame behind on one hind too and that they also think its KS.
Horse is 10 years old and huge. Sweet chap but windsucks and weaves too.
People on the yard are telling me PTS as are trainer, family and friends. I don't want to just move the horse on and its no value. X-rays are booked but now the physio is saying it should have hind lameness work up too and scoping for ulcers.
WWYD? Its not all about money although its a consideration obviously?
