Location: Phoenix		 I recently sent my horse for a lameness exam and he started by checking him over.  Teeth, eyes, blemishes on the legs, asked about his history, then palpated the back and hindquarters.  Then hoof testers.  Then the lameness exam with flexion tests on the fetlocks, carpus (knee), hocks and stifle.  For $$ purposes, I chose to stop there and inject the knee.  But if I were to keep going we would have done some blocks and then X-rays.  I decided that if I didn't see improvement we'd go back to see about the SLIGHT reaction in the hoof of the same knee.  It was so slight that I didn't notice so I opted out.  I felt that I had a very thorough lameness exam.  I just wish I could show him moving faster than a trot so next time I think I'd insist on showing his movement in the roundpen.
