If anyone's interested lol.
Vet came out today because my horse hasn't been quite right behind. He trotted up sound, flexion test done on both hinds, again trotted up sound.
So then we lunged in the school. Vet could see he is definatley dragging both his hind legs, neither worse than the other and the outside is worse whichever way he is going.
Vet not sure what is wrong, my boy may have the end of a virus which is making him lethargic. Or he may have some damage higher up than his hocks.
Bringing him back into work for a week, if still bad/ gets worse next week pony will need blood tests and a Bute trial to see if its a pain problem.
Quick question, what if any of this can I claim for in insurance if it comes to it?
Thanks for reading, any advice massively appreciated
