Recomended you ride a lame horse?
Today i brought Jeeves in from his paddock and he was dragging his left hind realy bad and was reluctant to walk. Me and YM both thought he had broken something but when stood he will put weight on it to rest his other hind. I got the vet out as was very worried and she said he has done something to his petella. I thought she was going to say box rest and bute but she told me to ride him for an hour 3 times a day in straight lines walk and trot. I rode him this afternoon for 10 mins only in walk and he seemed to loosen off. She said if it got no better in a week to call her back out otherwise she was not worried.
Anyone else had an experience like this?
