Elite Veteran Posts: 937	My gelding is off when loping circles to the left. Can you tell if he is off in the front end or back end? I'm calling my vet tomorrow to get an appointment. Normally he is very light in the face. He started doing this about two weeks ago and I had the chiropractor out last week and he said he was out in his shoulder and hip and popped him back in place. I gave him a few days off and got back on tonight and he is still off. He feels very heavy on his front end and is visibly agitated when I ask him to lope a correct http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEfwDXsRbgk Edited by sourkiss378 2016-03-02 7:07 PM

Expert Posts: 1409 Location: Oklahoma	So many people over look thrush. Even me until now. I didn't think I had thrush but I went ahead and treated and a couple days later it started surfacing where I could see. The frog is pretty good hiding it! Now that I have treated made a world of difference. I think it is a lot more painful that what people give credit to it being.

Go For It! Location: Texas	He's off in his left rear... Check his hamstrings... It could be soft tissue. Don't ride him, just turn him out for a while and see if he gets better.

Elite Veteran Posts: 672	Yes to what others have said, left rear is definitely more sore, but I would guess he would flex positive on both. Poor guy looks pretty ouchy. What shoulder was he out in? I would assume from compensating for the rear end pain. You'll probably want to get him adjusted/massaged again as well as I bet he wasn't able to keep his hip in. Good luck :) Edited by veintiocho 2016-03-02 10:37 PM

Firecracker Dog Lover Posts: 3175	Looks like the left rear but it's difficult to really see from this video. It's much easier to gauge when they are trotting than loping.

Money Eating Baggage Owner Posts: 9586 Location: Phoenix	I think trotting is the only surefire way to tell if they are lame. My horse was dead lame at the trot but could lope just fine. Let us know what the vet says!
