today at the riding school I rode an amazing horse named Megan and she is strawberry roan with a blue eye (She only has one eye) but she has arthritis in her hind leg so it makes her trot a little weird but overall she is an amazing horse
i often wonder if they did all of these practices say, a thousand years ago.you can literally go round in circles with if,s buts and maybe,s,..three weeks ago my one got kicked and she was limping and lame two weeks ago she had recovered and was stiff despite that one week later i was told by a yard owner that she was never going to recover and that she shouild be shot today my friend rode her and she was not lame and after 10 minutes in the hands of good rider she was not even stiff ,moral of the story is that for every opinion there is a counter opinion ,if you listen to too many peoples ideas you will just be more and more confused heck i have seen vets disagree with one another recently,all atheletic creatures including us have little aches and pains knocks and bumps ,had i only ridden her for 10 mins i would have concluded she was stiff and some would have said lame however after 15 mins she loosened up ,in the same way a boxer or tennis player or runner might .i am starting to think that horses problems are more genetic ,and vets and owners are always looking for some causal effect for every quirk or imperfection at 100 pound a time ..like us its either a joint tendon muscle or ligament that cause lameness ,some horses will never be perfect but can still be ridden and enjoyed ..mine has bowed tendon for last 8 years and have hacked for most of them ,the injury affects her gait a lttle ,it makes her seem not right sometimes ,however its just the way she has learned to compensate for her movement when she was seiously lame when she ripped a tendon.if you are not competing as long as your horse is not in any pain or discomfort and is willing any lttle quirks in movement and gait she not be obsessed over ,as you can start seeing things that are not there or relevant and those getting paid to look rarely stop you .i wa so confussed i had a vet booked for yesterday and the new yard owner that i had moved too after the ignorance of the previous yard owner caused such doubt put me in mind of these things i have mentioned and told me to cancel the vet to wait and see and like some miracle she was spot on the vet would have concluded she was stiff and to cover his back would have played it safe delaying precious time but as i said today she was ridden ,ironically from being kicked in a field three weeks ago after vets physio farriers and endless maybe,s what healed her was common sense and treating exactly the way you would treat your self if you had tendon ligament joint or muscle pains .i am yet to get a conclusive diagnosis from a vet yet .they are always multy layered and you end up with more questiions and bills than answers .
Horse being lunged showing lameness right front

Good information! Lesson learned.

Can a horse recover from lameness?
Yes, but in the meantime you can’t be riding them and sometimes have to be on stall rest
It really depends on why they're lame, an abscess? Sure!
Broken bones? Probably not, depending on what broke some can be pasture sound
So it’s better to get it checked out ?
i am so ashamed
