Not impressed. I took my gelding to my vet. I had to leave him as I had to get to work. I told his assistant Max was lame on front left. Vet called me and said horse was sound. I said you obviously haven't lunged him as then it would be obvious. So he hooked this lameness locator to him and discover...

Blundstones are now made in China instead of Australia and my last two pairs have been junk. I would not recommend trying them. They used to be great.

Thanks, I'll check out both brands.

I've worn Blundstones for years. (I have wide feet, and they used to fit the best). The last two pairs I've had are garbage. Found out they are no longer made in Australia, but in China. Are there any good quality boots made in America or the UK?

Does anyone have experience using Osphos for bone healing? My gelding had trauma to his coffin bone wing. It's healing but vet suggested Osphos could speed up the healing process. For now we're putting gel pad on his shoe and using a low dose of previcox. First vet who took original xrays told me no...

Ditto Tsavo. Op, another thought. You weren't there when he lunged and blocked the horse, right? I am wondering if once he blocked the lame foot if the other foot showed up a little gimpy. That happens a lot. Both feet are sore in the heel, but one more than the other and the Yup. This is what woul...

Does flax help with sweet itch? Do you feed it whole or ground?

The PM is in my out box......can't seem to get it to send...not sure what I'm doing wrong?

Cob as in Welsh Cob or Gypsy Cob? Anyway, you're Sierra Foothills as in Gold Country? If you want, you can PM me a better idea of where you are (it's a big area ;) ) and what vet you saw if you care to share and I may have thoughts for you as I'm familiar with most of the vets in that area. PM'd yo...

Thanks everyone. It just seemed wrong to medicate a lame horse and possibly do irreparable damage by continuing to work him. I hauled 75 miles to go to this guy who supposedly was a lameness expert. My local vet that I had used previously retired last fall and I've had a hell of a time finding anyon...

He went lame in between farrier visits. Although that has been on my mind, if it could be related. My farrier has seen him since the lameness began, put new shoes on 2 weeks ago with no change. I've used this vet quite a bit and felt confident, and he is "supposedly" one of the better lame...

It's been going on for over a month now. If I keep him on bute he seems sound, but as soon as he's off it for a few days he's lame again. Giving him bute an hour before I ride, as the vet recommended doesn't help. He wears shoes on the front feet only.

My 16 year old Cob gelding came up lame on his left front. He is sound except when we work to the left, turn on the forehand or go down a hill. I took him to my vet who first told me there was nothing wrong - flexion tests were good. I asked them to lunge him to the left ( I had to leave him there a...
