Retirement And Horse Sayings Horse Injury Semi-retirement?

Horse Injury semi-retirement? - retirement and horse sayings

My horse has a wound caused by a jet in September 2006 and broke his elbow. After curing, I ran last summer (HES barrel horse), but for months HES very lame, and my vet does not know why. worse at some time in hell Prairie sometimes lame, sometimes after a trip to a walk In the HES, and if they go under, or in a circle. In taking it to the equine clinic on Monday for an X-ray evidence, and doing it is radioactive, but HES could be the biggest pain is not in line with its relaxed ride around the track to jog his take, then another turn lame, and he is not dead, but as soon as I what I stood for a moment HES ten times worse. If you have any idea what could go with him, hes on joint supplements and MSM. What do you think it will most likely be removed from barrel racing?

It sounds like arthritis, or something similar. Either that, or can have a piece of floating bone. When the chip after the operation and adequate care to relieve the lameness. Arthritis is just the right care.

Sounds like retirement barrel racing is the best option, anyway. It will never be strong enough to deal with real re-bbl Racing. Many horses went to race with joy after bone-chip surgery - but not a great racing career.

The clinic can find something that can be treated, so there is still a draft horse with all its high-tech can be testing. Someone said bone fragments, and I've seen horses take temporary problems like you describe. But they will not know until then, and what they are, are not treated. Therefore, try to prepare for each outcome. You can always be your friend, even if the horse does a barrel. It could be strong enough to get a young man climbing or working lightpath. Your veterinarian will tell you what they do for him.

When he broke his elbow and will be weak, and is used as a barrel horse, then yes, I love. At least from the barrel race anyway. Wait until the veterans can take a look before you seem to decide one way or another, but when it comes to blade and an old injury worse than that, barrel racing is not to be be a good idea for him.

I had two horses with the same injury. One was tall and still great to this day. The others I was not so lucky. I had the surgery had gone really a floating chip in and around the elbow. If you take him to the hospital and get their films, you know more. My horse has been withdrawn. It was simply not the same. It was always "off". Barrel racing is a tough sport, and it is difficult in horses body. I have a mare now a bone chip in his knee and has been for 4 years with the occasional participation of the legend as a whole. Well, when my vet told me it should be done quickly, because it never played, and can not be retrieved, it will not be possible to support the additional weight on the knee. I went with my instinctive and has been unbelievable. The chances are good that your horse is the development of fluid retention, and arthritis in the elbow joint. There are so many things I could be with him is going on. I would try to do something, because anything can happen. I would not immediately at retiremnt. Dar ClockI am a different summer and see how it will fall. Good luck and I hope it works for you.

OK, he broke his elbow. This would be his main problem. Surely he would withdraw from the race barrels. It might be a good route for light work. I have bones before, and even take a complete break immobilzation forever to heal completely. I am confident that his horse could not immoblize then you could provide some arthritis in the elbow joint, or perhaps have a piece of floating bone, you know - you see, not now. This could explain the intermittent claudication. Good luck to the vet. If it's a piece of bone - maybe you have some good news and will be removed.
