i have a horse that has a problem with his leg/stifle locking out.
i have tried strngthening the stifle by having him do different exercises and i thought he was making progress but the other day i was trotting him to exercise it and he went lope and it locked out and he almost fell.
now i am concerded for his health and my own safety.
i talked to the local vet and he said there is a procedure that perforates the tendon and tightens it up so it doesn't slip back/over and lock up.
i have read about it some but i'd like to hear from someone that has dealt with it first hand.
does the horse recover 100%
is there any disadvantages after it's done
anything i need to know
