For the very first time we have a mini that has stiff legs. I do not know if this has been going on for a time and I didn't know it because at the same time, my father was dying. I was thinking that this horse didn't want to go outside and then he didn't want to come inside and I thought he was just being stubborn, but Friday we noticed that he was having a very hard time walking and was stiff. We called the vet and he told us to keep him off the grass and grain and use one dose of banamine each day. Today I noticed a cracking noise when he walks and heard it yesterday, too. He seems to be doing a little better and the vet said he would come out in a few days if we didn't notice any improvement, but I am VERY scared!! I am so afraid of what is wrong and what is ahead!! We also have a new farrier and there is nothing stuck in his hoof. I am not a horse pro and need your help. He is 6 years old. He eats orchard grass and gets strongid c every day. HELP!!!
