The ones that was severe but has recovered and running barrels or any event- Does your horse stand weird or completely normal? When I say weird I mean like one leg standing out behind them maybe the same or alternate leg, or back feet turn one way and the front is straight? Like a twist in the back. or anything that is different than before and maybe it just something that cant be fixed just have to deal with. Thanks
Also are you giving your horse epm meds every day like rebalance? or just treating 2x year or just when you see symptoms?

My EPM horse didn't do that, though she needed regular chiro adjustments to her pelvis. I was told that was fairly common among EPM horses.
My horse that had a severe puncture wound to his hip will stand with that back leg out. He's pretty sore yet, so I've attributed it to that.

Yes on X-rays. They are clean. Not sore in back or si area. And he works and uses his butt no problem and he stops and backs great. Injected tmj bc he been sore in tmj gonna get teeth look at Tom also he is standing lots better since injecting Tmj. So I will see what happens Tom. Thanks!
