Abby has had stifle issues since she was in foal with Shelby. I did not breed her, she was in foal when I bought her so needless to say no more babies for her. I have owned her almost 3 years.
She has only locked once. I have had the vet look at her he told me shes not bad enough to do anything about it. Vet recommended lots of exercise, hills, cavaletti work, etc. I was jumping her and that seemed to help, I try to keep her fit. She is now my driving horse and seems to do pretty well until we get into thick sand then her stifle starts to make that popping sound. Should I talk to the vet about surgery or just leave it until she starts locking on a regular basis. Kathy
