Get the referal and go, your current vet should not mind or be offended since she had not be able to figure out his lameness issues. My vet had no problem sending me to A&M, when my horse stepped on the nail I first took him to Matt, he told me he would treat it but A&M was I needed to take him if I wanted to “go all out” on his treatment.

You get what you give Posts: 13030 Location: Texas	My personal opinion is if you want to fuse the pastern, go all out with surgery.

I agree with this. You need a good lameness vet to look at this horse. If she's any kind of vet at all, she will gladly share his records and won't mind a second opinion.
