So we put our older gelding down June due to spinal compression. he was living the good life being a companion horse until he started to fall every time he put his head down…
In August we purchased on OTTB and life has been great with him…until Monday afternoon.
He was taken out of the stall and just about fell into the aisle. Walking with his hind end out of sync with his shoulders and unable to stand still, clenching his whole body due to the pain.
Vet came out, gave him meds, see how he is in the morning. Tuesday morning, absolutely no change, still in so much pain. Have him heavy duty anti-inflammatorys, if he isn’t better by tomorrow (Wednesday) then she recommended putting him down. 
WTF :eek: He is six years old!
So today I go down and he is SO much better. Still have no idea what he did or anything. But unfortunately his career as a riding horse may be over.
Is there any possibility that he can recover with a riding career after this. Anything else I should look into for him?
TIA
