[RC] Torn Hamstring? - Angela Lewis

Just another question for all you experienced horsy people.  Has anyone ever had a horse tear their hamstring muscle?  I had the vets at the last endurance ride when my mare came up off say they thought she tore her hamstring muscle she would not put all her weight on her left hind leg.  She was fine if she kept moving but seemed to stiffen up if rested.  She seemed fine the day after and I caught her trotting around so I stuck her in a smaller pen and today two days later she is spinning and running around the small pen.  I guess I need to tie her in one place HA gotta love the arab go.  Just trying to keep them quite it another thing.  My concern is if it was torn wouldn't she still be off on it and sore?  Maybe she pulled it or strained it?  I have an apt to get it ultrasounded on Thursday just wanted to see what everyone thought.
