@Former-Member 

i had the farrier out the other day and she told me she has only limited movement in one of her joints of her feet. one of the main ones too.

its posible the old injury she has that no one had checked mind you, she may have done a tendon which means she may just be a very expensive paddock ornamant.

as much i dont want to give her back the amount of money ill spent on her care and upkeep and treatments and not being able to do anything, id be able to afford another horse next year or the year after one that i can ride and have in good condition.

i ahve to weigh up my options. ive got a body worker coming in the next few weeks so if she thinks ill never be able to do anything with her i may have to give her back. if its something that i can do specific exercises on her and treatments and she can be ridden within the next year ill keep her.

i suppsoe everything is riding on this body worker assessment and if she cant tell me then ill ahve to get a vet and that bill will be massive because he will want to do xrays and ultrasounds and thats thousands of dollars.

so im abit devo atm.

i dont really know what to do, i dont want to get a bond up and have an awesome relationship and then ahve to give her back. we alreayd ahve a bond. no halter and lead required now she follows me everywhere
