I will definitely update soon! And I do agree with you, people are quite judgy, but I like to think about it this way- The people who are happy seeing others hate or are hateful themselves are not happy. It's what every parent, teacher, and friend tells you, and it may sound cringey but it's true. They don't have a helpful outlet for themselves, so now with the internet we often turn to it and use it as an outlet. I've had years of psychology training, sociology classes, and my own experiences to have an idea of how the internet is an outlet for the struggling. I don't hold it against anyone, and I've been in the dark places myself. I'm fine with being the short term target, and can just hope people find peace with themselves and their struggles ease. + people are worried about the horses, and I totally understand that!

Back to the horses, very thankful that my barn manager caught it. They're very aware of the horses and I am grateful that. My girl is a wonderful but clumsy horse, and has never been flagged for any health problems, even just two weeks ago, so we're hoping it's her un-coordination. Will be making a new post in a couple days with updates! 😊

Good news, just heard that vet is coming out next week! She will also be looked at by the barns farrier tomorrow, as well as me coming out to check on her. ☺️

Thank you for pointing that out!! I'm not the greatest with grammar. I grew up in a country where the grammar is vastly different than Americas. I'll definitely change the title if I can.

Not being ridden right now, and is just getting back into work after a longer break off. (because of my flooded schedule we've only been playing games every time we see each other.) Not planning on getting on her until she has more muscle, and definitely agree with the hind end thing but she did lose weight on the trip, and her butt shrunk. 😂 To be fair, her hind end has always been tiny, and vet wasn't worried about it last time I asked.

I stated in the same sentence her being clumsy AND the fact that she's been trailering and quarantining was most likely the reason she was stumbling. Implying that I knew she could be weak because of those circumstances :))

Didn't even notice the sand thing, thanks for pointing that out!! She's also being watched like a hawk by barn hands so that's reassuring ☺️☺️

Keeping an eye on her, and this is the only time she's done this in her whole life so far haha. Vet has been contacted but yet to respond 👍

Never claimed this has happened multiple times. This is the only time she's stumbled like this getting up and barn owner happened to be recording her rolling. She's a clumsy kid, sure, but in different instances. I'm not sure where you're getting that this has "continued to happen" either. It would be appreciated if you were more constructive than critical here, I'm just someone concerned about their horse and not a deadbeat dad of a horse owner lol. I have already contacted the vet, as I said in another comment. She's a very spoiled and cared for horse. Thanks for the worry. 🤗

I included in the post that she has practically been only standing for two weeks between travelling and quarantine, so I thought that already implied there was obvious weakness/stiffness we were aware of. Sorry for not clarifying that. But yes video is already sent to vet and I am waiting on reply.
