There's gotta be a diva in the barn. Glad to hear you found the more than likely culprits.

 Yes! We went to the vet this past saturday (the 8th) did flex test and xrays and he has some inflammation in the lower hock joints and a small bone spur on the right hock. But, vet said overall he would rate the left hock at a 1/2 on a 1-3 scale and right hock about a 2. Which makes sence bc i could tell his right was bothering him way worse. So, vet did injections of cortizone and HA. We did our light riding the last 2 days and vet wants him back to full load today but im still so worried. I never had a horse that needed injections before so im being extra precautious. He's moving great and acting himself again but im a worry wart. I also started him on Actiflex 4000. HAD to get the alfalfa based powder because he refused to eat the liquid. DIVA!!!

Mine to.. lol Did not want the Liquid. But they Love the powder and I am really seeing a difference.

 He wouldnt even touch his grain with the liquid in it, which i KNOW its bad when he does that because he always eats his grain lol. Thankfully my other guy is a vaccuum cleaner and will eat anything so it wont go to waste and im already starting to notice he isnt clicking as much! so im happy about that!
