hey - k ive got a 10 yearold mare who has been lame for the last 3 months, Not a normal lameness though - shes totally sound on the left rein, and inconsistently lame on the right. Ive had her xrayed, got her navicular checked and block tested her leg - the vet still cant decipher what the cause is though.
Hes thinking tendons - but surely if it was a tendon shed be consistenly lame? She currently has a heel lift fitted to her shoe but is still hobbling around the place on and off - as I mentioned she can be sound as a bell for a few strides and then hobbles as if her leg is falling off! Id really appreciate any suggestions on what this could be as Ive spent a small fortune trying to right her but still dont even know whats wrong with her! Failing all else Ill be selling her as a brood mare - shes a thoroughabred out of Ballysimon Lad if theres any takers out there!!!! Thanks guys!
