Wondering if any one has seen this or has an idea ? 8 year old arab. English ple.horse I think im seeing a hitch in the movement of his r hind apparently im the only one.consulted with a vet and ciropractor they are nither seeing it or finding any thing wrong but when i bring his right hind back there is a constent presure like a loaded spring and it seems to want to rotate in twards the other hind as i bring it back. Any ideas ?
Ps. Horse has ben sedated when others handel his hinds ,dont know if that leg moved freeier then or not as i was not there
stifle starting to lock; or beginning of stringhalt; or hocks and stifles bothering him and need to be injected. take your pick.
Stifle was my thought guess it dont matter if no one else sees it do you think being sedated would make it less odvouse .his history or being a butthead has them thinking he is just being obstinent with that leg
this feals more like a impingment but not being noticable while sedated makes me think he is garding it due to pain however he dose not react that way. I have verry little experince with a sidated horse could it be that the muscles relaxing is freeing up the joint.thanks
