Can't say for sure if young ones have 'growing pains' but why not. But I
wanted to let you know of another possibility for his 'sometimes when we
start working lameness'. Over the years I have looked at 100's of horses who
would have these sometime lameness problems with no apparent cause. Their
feet would be beautifully shod, excellent feed programs, well cared for etc
etc. Since these horses had no current reason to be lame, I began asking
what condition the horse was in when purchased. It was amazing how many of
these horses had 'bad feet' when purchased. I believe that you can have
lameness problems from residual tightness (in muscles, tendons, ligaments
etc) and/or abnormalities from your horse being out of balance sometime in
the past.
It would be a good idea to have your horse checked out by an Equine Sports
Therapist who specializes in lameness problems. If you cannot find one, a
good Equine Massage Therapist may also be able to locate something that is
'hanging up' in your horses body.
If you have any questions....feel free to e-mail me personally.
Good Luck
