Actually, the vet had pulled the horse. The
owner was trotting and trotting it behind the vet's area over and over, and the
horse was so lame, it just was not necessary. Just her and her friends,
the vet had already scratched the horse.
One more thing about
the ?Trotting out 10 times?. Please know that the riders don?t trot out
their horses 10 times to convince somebody whether or not the horse is
sound. My guess is that the professional vets at the rides were doing a
lameness test by observation not to only determine lameness, but WHERE the
lameness may occur, to advise proper treatment, etc.
Pin-pointing the
origination of lameness can be VERY difficult, and a million things could
cause it.
