after my last post i took your advice and went for the steroid injection! had it done the week before crimbo and started walking her inhand building up from 10minute walks 1st week, 20 min walks 2nd week and then tried half hour this weekend and she was lame within 20mins of being out_ totally gutted as really thought it was going to work when she was so much better after it. feel there is no other option now except to pts.:(
 
well i have phoned this morning and i am waiting for my vet to call me back and give me some advice. i wonder if i overdid it but don't think i have, took it nice and steady on flat road. if she cannot manage this i can't see that i will ever be able to ride her again
 
vet coming out today<when i brought lady in last night there was a lot of heat in her foot above coronet band and it was swollen, vet says it could be an absess_ HOORAY if it is as that will mean the steroid is still working and lameness is due to something else. never have i been so happy to be incurring yet another vets bill!!?
 
ooh, someone sent me a private message but as you can probably tell by my typing i have only just learnt to use a pc and don't know how to access it!
