Oh Sue  Fingers crossed for the xrays. Is there a box he could move to that is very quiet and out of the way? We've a mare on box rest- 5 year old warmblood and because she is at the end behind the partition with a friend she is ok- only gets upset when she can see things going on. |

You most certainly do Kristy - thanks for your thoughts.
He's a bit more settled in his box now. I managed to get to see him at dusk last night on my way home from work and he recognised my footsteps in the dark as I walked across the yard and called to me - how do they know, it could have been anyone?

He could sense you Sue- he probably recognises your footfall, or your smell!
I'm really sorry there is no improvement. Has your vet got an MRI scan? They can be very beneficial in diagnosing strange unsoundness problems.
Don't despair as theer will be a way through this.

Just thought I'd say if you do go for an MRI scan - not all insurers will cover this. Poor Bea I hope there is a good prognosis for him  Perhaps they get more tuned into you when they are under stress? |

Bea doesn't do it to anyone else either - except occasionally Leann 'cos he likes her.

Fingers crossed for the vets finding the cause and it being one that's easily fixed with rest and love.

Thanks everyone. Bea's at the vet's now - I've just had a call to say that they've isolated the pain to the fetlock area, but he wants to do another block when this one has worn off to try and pinpoint the exact place. Then he's going to do an X-ray.....
He's querying windgalls as being the cause - but no-one I've spoken to has ever heard of windgalls making a horse lame. I hope it isn't the cause because it's excluded from the insurance ££££££££££££££

Dan had windgalls for many years and they never made him lame. I think there are two types of windgalls depending on their location but as far as I'm aware neither are connected with lameness - Bea does look like he has them but maybe something else is going on within the fetlock? I do hope that you get it sorted Sue, and that is is covered by the insurance! |

I have never heard of wingalls making a horse lame. I hope they find the cause of bea's lameness and that it is covered too.
