Hugo

Hugo Subjective Started ridden work and is worked 3x a week. Saddle and tack checked recently and no issues with that. When ridden can be difficult to bend and has been run to a fence to stop in the past. Feet trimmed and look balanced overall. Still only 5 and so may need more muscle building. Better on the surface but can trip. Gait In walk on the straight Hugo showed straight head and neck, there was a narrow forelimb stance and movement with left forelimb showing toe out and landing laterally. This is wearing the lateral side of the hoof wall and this is also the limb where there is limited hoof capsule rotation. Initially more pelvic motion in the right indicating some lameness. Left hindlimb laterally circumducts to avoid flexion. Objective     Neck lateral flexion right was limited Back is non reactive and symmetrical Laceration left hind cranial tarsus Right hindlimb fetlock – crepitus and cracking initially
