Location: Ohio girl moved to PA		You definitly have a case of sore hocks. I literally just went through this with my main mount, and we saw the vet this past saturday. Did flexion test, vet could automatically see the drop in his hip on his more sore side. Did x-rays and sure enough he's got some bone spurs and a little inflammation in the lower joints so we injected. My horse was doing excatly the same yours was. This was our first time getting injections so im super excited to see how hes gonna be feeling this weekend.

I agree with sore hocks and/or stifles. Just experienced this myself though so not really well versed in it. We had to travel two hours to a really good vet because no one is near us. The best one around here is the same distance but I risked going with the step down to save some on $$ because I had a pretty good idea what was going on.
