Re: [RC] Lameness question - rides2far


I have a ten year old gelding who has had a problem with arthritis 
for the last year and a half or so.  Unfortunately, he also has a 
back problem and the specialist who saw him said that a "gait 
aberration" would cause his back to go out. 

Had a friend who's very good endurance horse had sore hocks and his back
went into spasm. The vet injected the hocks, then treated the back with a
TENS unit and he came back. Once he quit having to guard his hocks with
his back muscles the back stayed fixed.
