Thank you for your help.
Our Mare is 6 years old and it is just one leg on the back off side
(right side).
We brought her as a 2 year old at the sales, but to prep her they
lunged her and it was too much for her leg to cope with. She has been
spelling ever since and were hoping to get her in foal - we were told
it is ok to now, but would like to have our mare not put through the
stress on that leg till it is alleviated. Just a couple of days ago
she went dizzy (shaky on front legs, leaning awkwardly on another
horse for support - she was flicking her front legs out at the
begining) and we were scared it was staggers, but this does not look
like the case. Any ideas.
Thanks, Kirstin
