A horse may limp only going one direction due to a variety of reasons. Some of the most common causes of this type of lameness include:
It is important to have a veterinarian examine the horse in order to determine the exact cause of the lameness. Depending on the cause the veterinarian may recommend a course of treatment such as rest medication or physical therapy.
Have the horse trot for you!
Trot. When a horse trots, its head stays level unless it has a limp in the front end. When the horse has a limp in the back end one of its hind quarters drops. If it is sound then they are level. When a horse is galloping it has a 'leading leg' - its two sides do not have the same movements so it is difficult to spot a limp.
The horse needs to walk.
There are several causes of a limp. Often it is caused by pain, weakness, neuromuscular imbalance or a skeletal deformity. However, the most common cause of a limp is physical trauma.
At least walking.
Abscesses impede the horse's ability to walk normally. Abscesses are very painful, so horses will limp and will not run when they are in pain. However if the horse is given bute (a pain killer), the horse won't limp as much.
Usually dryness at the roots.
No; in fact, that could only worsen things exponentially. If a limp is not visible (even slightly) when the horse is walking, he's trotted in hand. It should show up then if it's there.
Dr. Deere's limp was caused by a hip injury he sustained while trying to save a child from a runaway horse.
I think you make it gallop, trot, or jump.
It goes into limp mode when the computer detects a problem and sets a code. Have it checked for codes.
