[RC] Upward Pateller Fixation - mrsd - sherman

My friend has a horse with the same problem, rec’d the same advice from the vet. He is a young and hugely muscled 16H Paint. For the past year they’ve been doing the backing up, so far it works. He had been arena trained for reining I believe, but they only use him for trail riding now, not due to the patella problem but due to a change in riding interests.

Had a very wonderful mare who was playing in the round ring (1967). She gave a
mighty leap and came down & could hardly move.( right hind)  Our wonderful vet
cme by & said
that we had two choices.  First force her to back up fast when it happens,
second would be surgery, which could lead to problems later on.  We used the
fast backing.  She went on to finish the Tevis 3 times.  (74, 75, & 78 )
