Our horse became lame in his right hind leg Sunday morning. We showed him on Saturday and he was completely sound. Sunday morning we took him out of his stall and he was completely sound at the walk but lame at the trot. The vet did an ultrasound and took x-rays and didn't see anything. He is on stall rest and taking naproxin and our vet is going to see him on Wednesday morning. The vet at the show also felt that his back was sore. We had the massage therapist look at him and she agreed that his right side (same as his sore leg) is tight. Does any one have any ideas of what this might be or any suggestions? I think that our next step will be a nerve block to identify where the issue is.

Jeanne, I am afraid all we know is that you have a horse with a hind limb lameness. What should have been done was nerve blocking before radiographs and ultrasounds so that we would have a better idea of where the pain is coming from, or at least not coming from. The article associated with this forum explains the process of diagnosis.
