    Thank you for taking the time to show and explain everything I appreciate it. Also I think people need to show some appreciation for the fact you can use hoof testers one handed 😂

    That was a wonderful video and explanation, Dr. De la Cruz! I am a small animal veterinarian and equestrian. Your explanation of the equine lameness exam and your examples of normal vs. lame horses are clear, concise, accurately representative of the subject matter, and simple (but with just enough detail for someone who has animal medical knowledge). Well done!

    I wish some medical centers/veterinarian centers would allow people to 'intern' there I would be more than happy to intern for free if I could learn more about horse care... I don't want to be a horse veterinarian, but the ranch I work at is struggling to make it by the wage he pays employees is... well its criminal, it's mostly children who can afford to not be paid a reasonable wage.... I am fairly positive most of his horses have lameness in AT LEAST one limb, one of his horses, a massive Belgian draft ex Work horse (she plowed fields) has lameness in all four limbs... they are all still used regularly and while I currently would really like to tell him he shouldn't be based off of my own experience with horses, he has a Ranch Manager with 6 years experience with horses starting when he was 45... The Ranch Owner has more experience... but treats them a lot like the Amish treat their horses... as tools and not as living breathing beings with their own unique emotions and personalities... For example a horse came back the other day WITHOUT the border that road it off property (everyone was okay) the Ranch Manager detacked the horse and put it away...When a horse starts spooking he doesn't lead with a calming, and cooing "whoaaaaaa" he starts hollering 'WOW HEY, STOP STOP STOP" he doesn't check their hooves, he doesn't know how to spot lameness in a horse even at the most basic levels (extreme head bobbing) he doesn't know how to handle a horse that is wanting to go in a different direction than he wants to go... That Belgian draft gets a grass pasture turn out every day she wants it because she starts pulling on him and instead of correcting her and digging his heels in he lets her lead him around... ... Do not get me wrong he cares about these horses more than his own family (which may not be saying much but still) he is excellent at treating certain conditions like Habro, and other summer sores and basic lesions, but his horse experience is limited, and it's limited to his time at this very ranch he became the ranch manager after just two years of working as a ranch hand and beyond the care he provides he spends no time with the horses, when he fly sprays them he does so in a manner that is sometimes traumatizing to them (not to mention the people who awfully do it when he is 'off' on the weekends) he just doesn't seem to have meaningful and good experience with horses, what he has is an intense care for them, and intense love for them which makes him the best that this ranch can afford, lord knows they couldn't afford me to do the work and I unfortunately will not degrade myself to the level required to work for a wage that has him earning about 1500 a month at best for 80+ hrs of work as he is always here, always on call... He lives literally above the barn, which is great, but he gets paid way less than min wage in this state much less than this city... I suppose he does get paid more than the federal min wage... but thats not saying much at all.

    What reaction are you looking for exactly when palpating tendons etc?

  • @LBEMG

    @LBEMG

    Ай бұрын

    Great question. We are looking to see a reaction where the horse might sort of wince and try to take the leg. Some horses are just sensitive and might try to pull the leg away as you palpate just because they aren’t used to that sensation so we will often repeat the palpation to be sure it’s pain causing the horse’s reaction and not just them not being used to being touched. Think of it like you having a bruise or area of injury and someone touching or squeezing that area… your natural reaction to the pain would be to move away from that sensation. Hope that makes sense. Thanks for watching!

    I’m sorry that we are not able to advise on your horse’s condition since we have not seen it in person. The healing time can vary greatly depending on how much hoof was removed and any other issues your horse might be having inside the hoof. You can put your horse on cushioned boots as they may help but seeking advice from a veterinarian who can see the horse in person is advised.

    Sorry to hear that your horse is sore. Unfortunately we aren’t able to diagnose without seeing your horse in person. It could be a stone bruise, it could be a soft tissue injury, it could be an abscess brewing and the movement of riding caused additional inflammation in the area. There are many structures in the leg and hoof so it’s hard to differentiate without a hands on exam.

    I loved this video... and I am realizing that most of the horses where I work have one form of lameness or another... I know a bit about spotting lameness when a horse is trotting the head bobbing and watching not only where their foot falls but how it falls... For example we have a Belgian draft who used to be a Amish work horse (every Amish horse I have ever seen is in fucking terrible condition and they would have been much better off being wild as their life expectancy is less than a wild horse, and the age at which they experience chronic arthritis is MUCH MUCH MUCH younger... so I officially no longer like or tolerate the Amish... I digress.) someone was riding her and trotting her (which I hate seeing because I can see her face wincing in clear and present pain) as she was trotting her foot falls were not falling in the right place, not only that it was like she was kicking the dirt where her feet were falling, particularly in the front where it's the worst... Belgian drafts are known to have massive hooves and she is massive even for a belgian draft (think 2600 lbs and maybe only 100-200 overweight.) for context thats about the weight of a compact car... with it being quite a bit more than a Smart Car or a Fiat Pop or a Geo Metro.... but she was displacing about 1-3 lbs of the sand we have in our round pen (we live in Southern AZ to remove a bit of the hardness of the dirt out here which can be as hard or harder than concrete.
