This message is from: katesei...@aol.com I'm not saying they *couldn't* do this, but it would definitely be my last target for a lameness display. There are just way too many things that can cause lameness beyond what would be seen in the normal vet testing. Does the lameness occur working on a lunge line, or just under saddle? Free lunging, or just with a line and halter attached? Both directions or just one? What gaits does it occur? The best pony ever has gone through quite a few rounds of lameness - if ever there was a pony who was going to fake an illness, it's that bad boy. But he has always proven that theory wrong. The hardest one was an unidentified hoof abscess the vet swore did not exist. Joe knew it was there, it hurt, and it was 100 times worse with the added weight and constriction of a saddle and rider. It took a few weeks to finally emerge and blow the hoof wall and we were almost relieved to have an explanation.
