I did a search, which gave me a couple of topics that briefly mentioned splints and several talking about splint boots, so sorry if this has been talked about a lot. Feel free to send me a link and send me on my way if you don’t want to talk about them again. 
My wonderful horse who just got over a cold and was coming back to work has now had a splint appear. :no: I’m not freaking out, just shaking my head. I’m also not coming here as my first source of advice, so please don’t go all “OMG call the vet”. She was the first one I talked to, she’s the one I listen to
I was just wondering- what do YOU do when one all of a sudden “pops a splint” (and am I the only one who hates that terminology for some reason?)? Do you keep it wrapped in hopes of not having a huge bulge on your horse’s leg forever? Do you get it x-rayed and see if some type of surgery might help prevent problems down the road? Do you give them some bute and go for a ride? (lol… no this is not my plan of action, btw) Have you had different experiences with them happening higher up versus lower? Or with horses hurting themselves different ways?
Just a conversation starter since I did a search when my horse did this to herself (yes, this was one of those where she really was out to maim herself) and didn’t find much on the topic, at least not recently. Maybe my search tool just doesn’t work too well.
