[QUOTE="spinandslide, post: 632134, member: 5559"] My older broodmare, who is 18, was put in the broodmare band after she injured her hamstring years ago when she was a cutting horse(the muscle area is ROCK hard!). well, shes walked with a stiff limp on her R hind and lately its gotten worse. :( but I buted her and let her be, some winters it seems to be worse then others. Shes not pregnant, so theres no extra weight. vet says its something that will bother her from time to time. Yesterday, found her with her leg completly swollen from midway down the cannon bone to below her fetlock. :frowns: I put some thermaflex on her and wrapped her up, and buted. Hoping it will go down. Kind of made me realize that shes no spring chicken anymore and that leg is probably going to be whats going to do her in in the end. Thanks for letting me share. Just kind of frustrating.
