Sage advice Chris.The one time I thought I had a suspensory problem, it 
turned out not to be sore check ligament. While you need to treat a sore 
check ligament, it is not a near the problem as a suspensory. Get the 
horse to a good vet and find out what is going one and have him give you 
a recovery/rehab program.
