[RC] wind puffs in hocks - NanwolfdenI have a 6 yr. old geld that was just started last fall at 5. He has been ridden in the hills very slow, walk and little jog for l year. Last fall I noticed some filling in his hind hocks-like wind puffs. This spring they seemed bigger so took him to a vet and had ex-rays. Everything looked fine in there-vet said he could do anything. Still riding very conservative but more consistent. Puffs increased-Took him to another vet. She said the sheath lining of the tendons were probably leaking fluid, really couldn't do endurance but would make a show horse or pleasure horse. The constant work in the hills was agrevating the situation. Has anyone had experience with this problem? If so what was the outcome. This is a beuatiful big geld. that really deserves every chance but I don't want to hurt him. Thanks.Nancy at nanwolfden@xxxxxxx
