Gail and Sarah,
Thank you for sharing your experiences. X-rays show the hock that was
originally the lame one has begun to fuse. The opposite hock still has bone
spurs. The vet says this is a typical progression, first one hock, then the
other.

Many years ago I bought a 2 year old Tb off the track. His hocks went bad at
about age 5 and the vet recommended cortisone injections to fuse them. After 6
months he wasn't lame, but he didn't move right enough for a dressage horse, or

I have a QH whose hocks are arthritic. It took years, but his lower hock
joints finally fused and he no longer seems in pain. However, his way of
moving is very stiff and awkward.
