Thanks a lot everyone! I think you're dead on with the stifles. The last couple of weeks he has really improved and I think it is a fitness thing. Also, we have been riding in our smaller indoor...

I have a horse that we got a few months ago from some people that just didn't have the money to keep. He is a TB and an amazing mover and a freek of nature in a good way jumping. He is however a...

Please know that you are doing the right thing. I just went through the same thing with my gelding last Monday. We fought for 2 years to bring him back from a debilitating injury. He wasn't...

I really wish we could all be more supportive here and not jump to assumptions about people's clear intention to just get some advice. OP, school and competing at the top level is very hard. It...

My horse was shod yesterday and when the farrier removed his back shoes he was so sore he could barely stand. The shoes were put back on so he has shoes on all 4 feet. He came from being in 24/7...

This was the sire of my last gelding. Conformation through behind (straight and long pasterns) is not great but the brain and movement and jump were fantastic. He did however end up with a career...

My farrier and my trainer both said that since he isn't lame/sore/ouchy/uncomfortable looking with his shoes one that he can be lightly hacked. I just personally feel that if he is so ouchy with his...

He does go out in a fly sheet and I have tried putting the fly boot things on him and a fly mask but he rips them off constantly. He is in from about 7 in the morning until 5 so the flys should be...

So my horse can't keep a shoe on to save his life. Typical Virginia problem. I don't want him in 24/7 but of course if I put him out during the day he would be stomping flies all day and I do put...

I got special orthotics from my orthopedic surgeon and the work amazingly to prevent my ankles from turning in. I had the same problem for a long time.

So there seems to be a ton of threads about clinics and everything else lately. I'm so sad because I have to get surgery soon on both of my legs and I just bought this fantastic horse. I will be...

I just experienced the same exact thing. My old trainer and I had been friends for 10 years. We hung out and did things together all the time and we constantly did each other favors. She has never...

I use the no turn professional choice boots. My horse can tear up, rip off, etc. etc. everything else I have put on him. After losing a shoe every week or so I bought these. He is in them all the...

I don't know what your price range is but Sergio Grasso are a great option. They are expensive. Mine were $650 and I know they go up from there depending on the type you want. They are very close...

I have a grandson of Mr. Prospector. He is pretty new to me so I don't have any pictures right now. He is gray and we do the hunters. He is a fairly hot and fresh horse, even at 13 I wouldn't put...

I would try a less harsh bit like the others have said and think shorter reins and longer arms. That way she can have her head but if you need to pull her up you still have short enough reins to do...

I don't have a ton of experience with horses that are OATK but I am currently in the process of taking my horse to be put down because he is very long in the pasterns and tore a suspensory in the...

I completely understand what the OP is saying. I would love to be able to qualify and go to Devon but it really is cost prohibitive to most people. I have a very very fancy gelding that I just...

So I decided to buy the horse after listening to two trainers and my vet. It turns out that his slight lameness in the front was actually do to a heel injury and since he hadn't been ridden...

Thanks so much for all of your help! I really love the horse and the owners are letting me have him at my barn for a week for a trial so I am really sure that they aren't trying to hide anything...

Did the PPE today. Horse has slight lameness in hocks and front right. Vet hasn't looked at the radiographs yet. Since the horse has been off and hasn't been on the maintenance stuff I am kind of...

That is actually my greatest concern. Talk of Isoxoprene and Bar shoes sounds to me like it. The past owner however had him for his entire career basically (since 4) and he has never been lame...

I am looking at a 13 year old "been there done that" TB gelding to do 3' adult local stuff and some rated stuff with. He moves and jumps great. The owners are willing to sell him for $15,000...
