I must say I was floored when my trainer said she had two client horses

guess they didn't have enough soul to correct the angle with trimming.
I'm glad Pete does (or at least did).


Gads. Abby gave you excellent advice, so did Nancy, but I have to question
the soundness issue and why it is happening. You can accommodate all the
manifestations of the lameness, but your horse is showing symptoms of an
innate lameness that needs to be addressed. IE you can shoe him all you want
but if you don't fix the lack of soundness the problem will ALWAYS come
back.

The lameness specialist diagnosed permanent damage to the RH that he thought might have ping-ponged back from the club getting even just a bit out of whack. That was his best guess as I understand it.

Recently, I was opining with my trainer that this flaring and inability to straighten happened sometime after the kick he got to the back right. I asked her if is possible that just didn't heal right or something. But after he came sound, he was never lame and he wasn't crooked. It slowly developed over time. Maybe there is some hairline fracture that is very very minute?

Arggh, hard to say without seeing you ride him, and him moving without you.
Not free, but with another rider, or on the lunge line. Can you put a video
up on Youtube, you do not have to announce it here, just e-mail me the video
so I can see it. I need more info. I need to see this horse move.

Thank you for offering to help me, Jody! I really appreciate it.

I'll take some video ASAP with me riding, my trainer riding, and some lunging and send it to you.

I'm going to send you an email in a minute.

Thanks so much.
