I have an 18 year old NSH (half saddlebred/half arab). For the past week, everytime he hits the cement flooring (inside the barn and in the area that they are fed) he lifts his rear leg and will not touch it down. If they are out in the pasture he doesn't limp at all or favor the leg in any way. There is an old injury on that leg (our stud ran him through a barbed wire fence) but that was at least 7 years ago. We were thinking a bruise on his foot maybe, but I picked his hoof yesterday and no reaction/sensitivity. I have ran my hand up and down his leg (no jokes here please-this is serious ) with no reaction at all, even squeezed on his old injury with no reaction. Any ideas, suggestions? TYIA.
