The physio came on Saturday and had a good look at Mayfly.
Unfortunately it was not good news.
As we knew she is dragging her near hind and supporting the weight more in her off hind. As a result of this she is not weight bearing evenly, which is causing her windgalls to fill.
The good news is she has no arthritis, no injury to pelvis or sacroiliac as both of these areas moved freely and she seems fairly comfortable, which is good news.
Therefore Mayfly could have some strain to a tendon or ligament, I hope that it is nothing too serious.
So basically she is going to have a month off, then will be checked over again in February.
Silly Fly, her spirit is willing but her body just can't cope.
All in all I have a month at the least with out riding, I will be riding the naughty Delami in aid to get him sold but who knows how long or short it will be until he is sold (someone is coming to see him tomorrow).
But, I will probably post the odd update, not often though due to there won't be much to interest you to write about...just pampering, food eating, and of course bandage changing. lol

Thank you for your comments :o)
I guess these things happen with horses and not much can really be done, I am delighted to have the chance that I have had with horses and well I can only hope that things get better.
Good to know that I am not just writing these blogs pointlessly and people are actually interested. lol x

hi! srry 2 comment again, but i was looking for some advice. You see, I have this horse named Ben (he's actually built a lil bit like Mayfly) but he has the WORST topline. His neck is almost inverted lol. I can't get him in a frame no matter what I do. Do you think some drawreins would be a good option to build up a topline and teach some self-carriage? Thnx :D

Ok, I can't promise that I will be superb help. lol
But I would say maybe enhancing her feed - there are topline build up feeds.
But mainly it takes a lot of hard lateral work really getting him to step under.
Getting a physio out to look at him will be a lot of help and they should give you some exercises to help with this problem.
lunging with all the correct equipment rollers, and that thing that goes round their bum (can't remember what it is called) really helps. And working him in circles.
hill work steep hills (even jsut in walk) and transitions - really get him to stride out.
Draws reins are not always a good idea.
Hope that helps xx
thank you sooo much :D I'm sure that will help
