    My horse won't walk on his left hind leg what do I do?
    I am not sure if he got kicked or not he is about 2 years old and he was just limping before but now he is barley walking on it at all.

    Did you lift his foot up and check to see if he has a stone stuck in his hock, or shoe not fitting properly. Best bet is to call a black smith. You must have access to a fellow who does the shoes for you. They are just as good as large animal vets nowadays.

    Before you call, lift up his leg and see what you can find. Sometimes its something simple.

    You originally posted end of November about this problem; his problem must be quadrupled by now and am surprised you didn't call in a vet long before this.

    So what is going on with your horse? Is he unridable, out to pasture and suffering??

    I don't know exactly where you are going with following up with this but if your horse is only a two year old, he can't be even green broke yet. How many horses do you have on your property?
