Your comment got me thinking. My horse was mildly sore behind in his stifles and very mildly sore in his back and SI. I was surprised because a month ago my other vet got no results at all on flexions.
But I did have a lesson the day before (with 10 minutes of warmup with the equiband ) and about an hour after he had a farrier appointment. Then the next day we had to haul to the vet about 17 minutes away.
I’m glad that we inject the SI as I think it needed to be done but looking back I’m glad we didn’t elect to do anything else… Because I don’t know how true of a picture we were really getting given the situation. The vet did tell me that in about a month she would be willing to give Estrone a try if his stifles still seem sticky . Although my hope would be that the SI injection will kind of unlock things and help EVERYTHING feel good. Everybody that sees him keeps commenting on how good his muscle and is looking and how we are obviously on the right track. I just want him to be as close to 100% as I can get him.
Of course my vet was really happy with his feet and said it was like a 180 in his comfort level foot wise. I only have to laugh because my farrier is trying to weed out coming as far south anymore so eventually I’ll be farrier shopping .
