Forelimb lameness EXPLAINED (see description for more!)

And one more thing! ⬇️⬇️ ⬇️ Thank you to all of you who participated in yesterday’s lameness quiz! Training your eye to see lameness is SO incredibly important. It may seem intimidating and difficult at first, but with practice it will all start to make sense. 🌟The offical answer is his right front - aka offside fore or the one with a short white sock. ➡️ But also one more thing: for those of you who said that it could be his right hind, this could absolutely be true and without seeing him trot away from you and side-on it’s hard to know for sure. It’s important to remember that an apparent forelimb lameness could actually be an ipsilateral (same side) hindlimb lameness (in the trot). Why? Lets break it down: In a hindlimb lameness, the horse will lower his head to transfer weight to the forehand and thereby take the weight off the painful hind leg. So in the trot where the diagonals take weight together, the head will move down on the diagonal forelimb. If the right hind is painful, the head will move down on the left forelimb. This can therefore look similar to a right fore lameness. Watch the horse trot away from you and side-on to assess the whole horse, not just the front end 😊 Well done everyone and thanks again for playing 😄 Would you like more “spot the lameness” challenges?
