What's wrong with my pony?
Hello,
I have a 9-year-old pony mare. She has osteoarthritis in her hock, which was diagnosed in February. She received several injections to relieve the inflammation, and around July I was able to slowly start riding her again.
Until recently, everything was great and she was running well. I was able to canter her normally, and she responded immediately to my aids and my leg.
However, for about two weeks now, we've suddenly been having problems riding her. She's extremely driven and doesn't really want to move forward. She doesn't respond to my leg, or my whip either, especially when she's cantering. When I start to canter, she sometimes bites her own shoulder. If I nip at her with the whip when she's cantering, she bucks. When I tighten the girth, she sometimes bites her shoulder too. She does this when I'm riding with a saddle and when I'm riding with a pad. When I'm lunging, she's also very driven, but she moves better than when I'm riding.
What I also noticed is that she has a very pronounced bloated stomach before moving, but it goes away after moving.
You might think that our problems are stomach-related, but I haven't changed anything about her food.
She gets a grain-free, sugar-free muesli and a supplement for her joints. She's also recently been given biotin because a lot of her mane hair has fallen out, it looks completely dull, and her skin is extremely flaky.
I haven't noticed any lameness so far.
The saddle also slips quite a bit and is definitely not 100% right for her. However, after her break, I want to build up some muscle before having her fitted for a new saddle. But our problems won't be caused by the saddle, since we also have problems with a pad.
What could be the cause of our problems?
What can I try to make it work like it did two weeks ago?
Please stay friendly, because we all share the same hobby. I still have a lot of work to do on my riding, too. But please focus on yourselves and the pony, because our problems only started about two weeks ago, and I haven't changed anything about my riding style or anything since then.

Well, for about 2 weeks, the temperatures are falling. This has a negative effect on the art pants. Long warming, short units and listen to something on the pony and only do what it wants/can be appropriate here. Movement yes, as regular as possible, but careful
Both the weather directly, as well as the arthosis or the pain can lead to stomach problems. Let veterinarian come or better get to the clinic. Make blood ect
Your mare will have 100% stomach pain.
All you’re describing speaks for this, including the lack of nutritional symptoms.
The cause here will probably be the drug delivery from the beginning of the year.
Does she get enough predators?
She should be able to eat 24h food.
Start today with boiled linseed, feed three times tgl and let the TA come on Monday.
I wouldn’t make a gastro, but first therapie over 7-14 days and if there is no improvement the gastro does.
And with one
.
Saddle that doesn’t fit you can’t build muscles.
You’re saving the wrong end.
Thank you for your advice, nice that there are also people who help and don’t think that I specifically torture my pony😅
I don’t save on the saddle, but I’m not going to buy a 3000€, which doesn’t fit again after 2 months, because it has finished its muscles. I hope that is understandable. She’ll get a dimensional saddle if I think that muscles can’t change so much in good training. When working with Pad, the problem is that I have to sit out almost permanently, so that the back cannot relieve in the gallop.
there are even more possibilities between scale saddle and unmatched saddle.
You can adjust the saddle by a satellite or the satellite sells you a used one.
It also does not have to be a measuring saddle, horses always change, so that a measuring saddle must be adapted and changed as any other saddle.
You should leave the gallop until the stomach is okay.
Gastric horses have pain in the gallop, the problems with the legs also come from the stomach.
When my stomach I had not ridden 3Momate at all when the Ostheo gave the go I started training and straight directed at the hand.
It took about 6-10 weeks and then I got rid of it again.
If I can catch up on that.
So I’m glad when people ask questions, no matter how hairy the question is. Worse are the ones who do NOT ask, and uninformably ruin their horse.
And the knowledge must come from somewhere. You may learn horse riding at the riding school, but you learn nothing about everything else on the subject of horse.
I’m trying to get kind answers to not stop people from asking. If the questioners have to fear that they will only be rounded with the answer, they will not continue to use the forum, and this will not help the horse in the end. And that’s the point.
Hey!
So for me these are all indications of pain….the veterinarian knows about it?This would be my first option….maybe you should let this be investigated…maybe comes from the consequences of osteoarthritis…because of the food I think I can’t exactly know what your pony gets and I’m going from that you care about the pony!

I would definitely have the stomach examined, even if you didn’t change anything on the food.
Sure, anything else can be, but if you take a vet to guess, you know immediately what she has and can react accordingly.
Call the vet tomorrow morning. If it should be stomach, it’s just before 12.
I wouldn’t have asked if the veterinarian would accept calls on the weekend without asking for 80 € more Unfortunately, our veterinarian often says that a visit to us at the stable is not necessary if there is no good description of the problem and in the opinion of the veterinarian this problem is not so bad that it must be examined. This could be the case here, then unfortunately many people also often mean that it “just put on the rider, and then of course the veterinarian does not have to gild his time”😬
I’d change the vet. And you don’t even know that since this weekend something is not okay, but for two weeks. There are 10 days where you can call without having to pay €80 😉
It is negligent to decide by a veterinarian on a remote diagnosis that he does nothing. He makes himself criminal if something happened, which could have been prevented by appropriate treatment.
I used to be on the profile.
the animal has been april permanently ill since midday.
in many areas of Germany, the TAs for horses are so close that you must be happy as a horse owner.
In my area zb there are three TAs for horses, the three aren’t coming if you’re standing at a small stable where they don’t have more customers.
You’ll get out of the car if you didn’t call her a year.
I’ll just let the animal clinic come from Holland for the emergency.
For everything I need, my horse doctor specialized in lungs and lives just 200km away.
I’m sorry to hear that your ponystute is currently in trouble. It is important to consider various aspects in order to understand the cause of their behavioral changes. Here are some possible factors that you might consider:
It is important to proceed systematically and to exclude various possibilities. If the problems persist, a new consultation with a veterinarian and cooperation with professionals such as a horse trainer or physiotherapists is recommended.
1. Go away! At Krämer, Lucerne cobs are available as feedstock, haycobs as employment feed, and feed the premium mineral feed. To do this you buy fennel cumin, mix and feed fresh fennel daily (about 10 grams). In addition, weed bark into the feed. Or, actually even better, horse gold joints!
Two. You let an osteophatin come and the pony settle down. Let one of Miteinstallern or your riding instructor recommend. Can heat the back with solarium, dinkelspelz cushions or a ceramic fiber ceiling (e.g. Back on Track, Ceramic Rehab by Felix Bühler, ceramic fiber from Ridersdeal) before moving. So zb at cleaning. And there are ceramic fiber snipers, neither are wrong!
3. Buy a Back on Track ankle. Arthrosis is doing well.
4. Build muscles on the Longe, not riding for the next few weeks. Only with a fitting saddle!
Five. Walk at least 20 minutes to ride warm. Before that, no joint lubrication is formed.
At the beginning of next year, your pony should run “as new”.
Thank you 😉 I have already thought about such a joint. Can you let that on the pasture? Most people say they’re supposed to be used only at a standstill. In June, of course, only the Longe worked. From February to the beginning of June always led, and from June to mid August then Longe. Then I started riding. It’s only a few weeks, of course, just step and trab. But how can you see a well-muscular ponyback? In Ponys, the thorn-fortsätte did not look out like the horse.
there are very well muscled ponies and horses where the thorn advances stand out. that is anatomical, that is inherited.
the back muscle only serves to hold the saddle.
the horse carries with the trapezoidal and the large neck breast muscles, as well as with the musculoskeletal muscles that put on the ribs.
a well-trained long back muscle has about 3.5cm in the diameter of the sport horse – in the case of train horse riding he is somewhat larger because the bauchmuscle is less applied. the horse draws with the chest and the back
I used to have stable gaiters on my pony, they were always on (paddock, coupling, etc.). It wasn’t a problem. And to recognize the muscles help before and after photos and when you deal with various eye trainings. Ask your coach too!
I didn’t think about it before, but I still care why Müsli isn’t good? And what is the fennel good for? Instead of the biotin?🙈
Like cookies said, in Müsli there’s a lot of garbage inside. Therefore I “mic” it myself by adding the things I need. And Fenchel is spasm-releasing and deflator, so helps against the bloom.
In Müsli there is usually unnecessary Sch*** in the form of sugar, aggregated stuff, which does not belong to the horse (like corn or barley) etc.
There’s only one me-known muesli that I can feed to my arthrosis-placed wallach without concerns: The feed & care mobility of equiva. There is no unnecessary sugar in it and it contains beneficial herbs as joint lubrication.
and in two years it can then enter into eternal hunting grounds with a buzz. howgh.
Why?
I assumed that this pony was completely cherished and there is no problem with metabolism. And, of course, the pain must be treated as best as possible, but if there is more than the arthrosis in the argen I wouldn’t have an osteo.
because I have to contradict you with almost every point of your answer.
the pony has hardest pains that are ignored. the metabolism is just in the grasp to completely tilt, the animal has at least one stomach mucosa inflammation, if nichht already ulcer.
the skin problems associated with it are an ambiguous feature for the tilting metabolism, for poorly functioning livers or kidneys and for large (pain) stress over a longer period of time.
that can’t be fixed in half a year with home funds, as if nothing had been, and if so, give me your account number and I’ll give you 100 euro.
as joint lubrication it needs collagen protein.
you could also give rhus toxicodendron d30 in the case of acute strokes – however, the first aggravation underneath is not so beautiful. after that it looks good.
the effectiveness is higher than arnica.
I could cry when I read that.
if horses were screaming before pain, you would be deaf.
the witness what is fed for the joints, makes magic ulcer.
so you’re doing this and you’re hurting.
Why don’t you just let a animal down, but ride until it falls dead?
irrtum – I do this professionally, but I have no own stall. I wouldn’t work where I work if the horses had to cry with me…
our horses are best possible and no one – not from the school horse and not from the hire horse – is required to do it.
So listen to your horse and stay out of the saddle and stay away from the longe.
arthrose is, by the way, a progressive-degenerative disease and therefore not curable. which does not give you the right to destroy the animal with any medium that does not work, even the like. does not help, but does not hurt, does not apply here. here it doesn’t help, but hurts.
a horse with 9 already relevant arthrose is a sacrifice of lasting dilettantism. probably already started riding with the three-year-old and iron on fohlenhufe bang. possibly there was a positional error, which was “corrected” in the stroke process, instead of gentle and gradual. after that was ridden directly, ridden, ridden.
in ponys is rarely correctly ridden unless a farm has a trained “reitzwerg”, i.e. a trained professional force with a maximum of 1.60m and not over 48kg weight. they are rather rare.
Normally such a pony is ridden by a better whip student, but unfortunately it is not yet standing on to ride the horse correctly from the back to the front. Accordingly, your pony has been laughing at the weak fronthand for 6 years.
but what I don’t understand is how to ride and go on and go on and galop and bend when you realize that the horse has hurt significantly.
buckling it out of despair.
next comes that the pönneli is accustomed to bucking you down in a targeted manner before you can just put yourself up there, and then it is said that the horse has unkind or it is evil.
the result is that it takes the first rocket to the rainbow with the pre-sicking and when it jacks you into the wheelchair directly. that then orders the vetamt.
Yes, my hobby is riding. too. is not so important. my passion for horses. I’m burning for horses and it doesn’t matter if you don’t help me get in or not. in the opposite. I’d be proud. that proves to me that I am right.
amen.
Oh, and these ulcers come now, where they’ve been getting the food for half a year at once? And before that no complaints aha… This is a feed from the TA and not what I quickly grabbed in the crämer and said “just fit”…
In your opinion, an arthrosis horse is a horse, which lastingly has pains that cannot go away? The disease remains, yes, but the pain is not when you treat it. If it went after you, I could send her back to retirement with nine. Great, she’s probably throwing herself on the hook and breaks up because she’s leaving her energy there.
If she had pain in her leg, she would still lame as before the treatment. She doesn’t.
Your past is certainly not good, I can already think of it, because it comes from Hungary and was sold from there to a woman in Germany who had it for 2 months, and then sold it to the school, from which I bought it after not even 1 year, because it is “unlike” to the children. But you can try from the pony something nice to do, instead of saying: “Nothing can be retired”.
These problems have now occurred with approximately three training units. So it’s not like I’ve ridden her for half a year. It may be that the horse has a bad day. They’re animals. I’ll write a bad exam. I don’t put them on the hook after one or two bad training sessions and say I never ride them again.
this has nix to do with myung, but arthrose is a progressive degenerative disease.
and yes. the skin complaints occur in a period of 4 to 8 months. there a responsible veterinarian orders a magenta.
Apart from that, normal large-animals of horse feeding have as much as a crow from the lkw driving. he doesn’t have to know anymore because he’s on profis at all other animal species. ours is glad if the owner is not there when he comes, but assists a stallman.
Some horses lame, some bite into the shoulders. doesn’t matter what the horse has so much pain.
If you were looking into an anatomy book, you should know that you’re sitting right on the horse’s like when riding. Of course, it doesn’t make any difference whether with pad or with a saddle or without a saddle. you’re always sitting on that.
you can try to make the pony a satisfied pensioner. as a pensioner, it can still run 10 years with reasonable quality of life in the opposite. for example as temporarily conditioned (in step) more recitable adder.
riding a healthy horse is certainly neither animal torment nor exploitation.
but your pony is not healthy.
and it will not be healthy again.
I know what your horse feels. I’ve already eaten all these puppies when I couldn’t stop it from hurting. with me came the diagnosis arthrose in both knees with 17, with at the beginning 20 I had so hellish pain that I could hardly walk. I took this funny fishy fin extract, then greenlipp, then teufelskralle. After half a year, I couldn’t eat anything before a stomachache and barely move me.
then I showed to the doctor a vogel and started to train me my fuss and then my orderhen. over years. Since then, I’ve been well-loaded as long as I don’t have to jog or run and have a tape weakened in both joints. you can simply spread the problem to more places. I can do everything with it, but I don’t do anything about what’s wrong. for example, I do not jump from higher than when sitting off the horse. sometimes I also sit on the ascent aid. I’m not jumping anywhere forward.
but if someone wants to make me jogging or cycling, I’m going back from the yard.
the pains spread evenly on everything you can hold well, sometimes I can even forget them, e.g. when riding. but the knees are most sensitive to the lesson. especially since the knee disc break 4 years ago.
I have great luck not being a horse. as a horse, I’d have been on the heavens.
Your horse is delivered to your good-dunken.
and it simply cannot afford what you demand.
again with the hammer in the brain:
And once the question: How damned should I predict the problem and say in the morning: “I don’t ride today, although there were no complaints before, because it will show pain today”??
and then I’m an animal torturer because I can’t foresee how my pony is going???
Where did I write that I tied them??? I’ve had them since I tied them two times to the Christmas quad, otherwise not.
If I ignored it, I wouldn’t have asked the question, but I didn’t think about it and train it normally. At the moment she walks step in trab at the Longe and gets boiled linseed and fennel. Wednesday the TA is here. So this is “IGNORIEREN”????
I thought she was biting herself in the shoulder for fun. I knew something wasn’t okay, and I also suspected stomach. My question was never whether she was hurt or not.
then ask disrespectful.
you can’t be nice, animal torment dull overread. I’d rather not be so nice.
and yes.
I used to be nicer. but they weren’t so bad and the people were ready to learn.
today – pubetarian snaps in.
just because you’re digital native, you’re not right to torment his animals – out of stupidity, and then be so convinced by his witness.
a horse that bites into the shoulders when picking up, has pains.
point.
the pony has had arthrosis six months ago, probably even longer. Even then, feeding was not good, it should be bandaged etc. So a not very well-knowing way of dealing with the animal. I just think that there is something in the argen’s health and it is ignored or not recognized correctly.
Months? No, for 4 riding units, so two weeks…
but she shows what goes wrong. Just straight. And the pony has been suffering from complaints for months.
In addition, if you comment on a question yourself, that you should write respectfully and help your readers…. you definitely don’t do 😉
you said that against it.
No? What did I say when the opposite was??
Spat is the bony of the three bones under the ankle joint. And for the last time, so that it “ignites with you” I know that arthrosis is not curable. You learn that in the 5th. Class based on human sample…
you said that against it.
I wrote it seven times, so it’s stuck in it.
has apparently been used.
there is no spat joint.
spat is a completely different disease.
You’ll have to figure out what the vet diagnosed.
Like I, with arthrosis horse, don’t know that this is chronic. You don’t need to write it like a little child 7 times. Arthrosis doesn’t have to hurt. The spat joint is a joint that the horses do not use. You never have to move, in no movement. So the inflammation that arises is the only thing that hurts the horse at “Spat”. And this inflammation is gone with her.
