Yeah, a stifle injury is like you straining your knee (to make an anology)...obviously, horses get all of their push from their rear legs so any muscle/ligament ailments would severely reflect in the horse's ability to perform...I've seen it happen before and it usually requires significant care and time....if it is reoccuring then it would seem to me as though there are imperfections in the horse's stride that put more stress on that particular leg and area of that leg...How is the horse's conformation?..good luck with it...

Default Thanks Joel

Confirmation is quite good.
A stifle condition in a young horse is fairly common as i am told.
The fact that this particular 2YO filly had it come back is not all that common but still is observed in some youngsters. The fact that this filly has been growing and growing makes our assumption that she just needs to be turned out until her growth has been completed...

Thanks,

PSH
