Friend very foolishly (IMHO) bougth a very very cheap horse recently. She had been turned away for over a year and was lame in what looked like both forelegs. The vet said that he was pretty sure that she just had badly bruised soles after going unshod and untrimmed on very hard ground for so long. It's 3 weeks now, and she's still almost always trotting up lame on hard ground and on soft. Occasionally she's sound, but usually not. She's ben shod and the farrier said ther was definitley bruising to her sole - but if it was just tat wouldn't she A) be less lame on soft ground B) be getting better b now and C) be consistently lame?
Any thoughts?
