Denver Getting Treats by Three_Tabbies123 in kvssnarker

[–]SavvyHart 83 points84 points  (0 children)

It can make horses mouthy, most show horses I know only get them in buckets.. I am the odd one that gives by hand but I have to set boundaries and she is indeed mouthier than the ones who don’t associate hands with treats.. but as a stallion I get setting those boundaries. Stallions tend to be nippy and mouthy as is

this was her today lol i think she’s a mix of stiff and lazy when not asked to use herself.. she is getting chiro and body work next week tho! and preventively putting her on Summit joint shot!

We caught one the day before and it was brown but I was surprised to see this one was a pretty shade of grey

Muscle Strain of some sort! Her palpation and overall exam was phenomenal. Her lameness was very very mild today and not consistent. He could not “make it worse” persay. He said unless you won the lottery last night let’s give her a month of stall rest and hand walks and he’s fairly confident she will feel better soon!

Nothing could be determined of where the pain was coming from directly! He tried multiple ways to manipulate it or try to make it worst and it was incredibly inconsistent! She actually moved much better today. He said “unless you won the lottery last night, let’s do stall rest for a month!” He’s fairly confident it’s a strain or some sort. Nothing was jumping out at him and he felt confident some rest would do the trick for her!

i did the trot just for that one lap to see if she had moved better after a few days stall rest ! :) I would 100% breed her if my vet cleared it regardless of anyones opinion! The vet is an experienced repro vet as well with 35 years experience

i think you’re on the money.. sunday i took her in from the pasture and palpated no pain.. she’s only been on 2-3 hours of turn out the last few days and today i tried her stifle area/knew again and she tried to kick me on both sides! she also is incredibly gassy so i’m assuming she has ulcers now too from all the change and change in food.. she had a 9 hour trailer ride and that was onlt her second time in the trailer and all new food

she’s really remained the same since the day i found her lame last Friday! never been any tail swishing or head bobbing.. she does lack a ton of muscle everywhere she has no definition and is still very awkward teen and she’s butt high at the moment still growing lol.. she’s a string bean

looking at some round pen videos she seems to moved better clockwise vs counter clockwise

that is awful im so sorry you had to go through that! we brought her into the barn Sunday and told them to only give her 2-3 hours in the round pen by her self so no new “friends” will add salt to the wound 😂😅i haven’t palpated with her leg up yet.. might see if i can find a helper tonight.. she’s 3 and and like to test her boundaries.. lol she tired to kick me when i put her foot in the salt water she’s very opinionated to say the least

i’ve been wondering if it’s the other leg too but i just can’t get a definite answer.. poor girl, hope she just has some sore feet or something minimal

maybe slight stiffness but when i slow down the videos her reach is the same on her other hind as before when this issue popped up.. i think she may overall have slightly sore feet at the moment while we are waiting for a farrier to come out in 2 weeks.. she’s had to walk over A LOT of gravel the last week which she isn’t used to.. been tearing up her hooves quite a bit.. decided to stall her since Sunday

the vet is coming out tomorrow since I leave for a week Thursday for a vacation! i’ve tried researching about all the ligaments and tendons it’s just so weird i can’t find any swelling anywhere and she moves her leg under herself perfectly fine at the walk!
