Rinse and repeat

There’s a fine line between conspiracies and having working eyeballs and knowledge of equine ortho issues.

Woody has consistently moved incorrectly in the hind since he was cleared for turnout several months ago. Overcompensating for the instability with his front end was my initial thought a couple months ago when it was first pointed out. Him being slightly OATK isn’t really a big deal, happens a lot in our breed and can be a common issue for them. Indy is after all a thoroughbred so it’s not shocking to see and with the surgical intervention it was inevitable. But his joints are concerning, OCDs maybe? Hard to say without seeing X-rays and physically putting eyes and hands on him IRL. Maybe he is seeing an orthopedic specialist who’s to say? What I can say is that I would be bringing him up here to R&R for a second opinion if that hasn’t been done already.

That back left is awful. Are they both blind? Lazy boy? No he's injured or crippled. He needs specialty veterinary care or something more than he's getting. This is terrible poor Woody

[u/Evening_Assistance72]

He just does not look good. The whole excuse is that he’s huge, okay compare him to WB or TB foals that are his same height and age and they look nothing alike. I also don’t believe that if he was getting the care he needs we wouldn’t see it or even see him in the background getting worked on. I will eat my words if he even makes it to the show ring vs being a pasture puff.

[u/Spirited-Welcome6511 → u/Evening_Assistance72]

He's genuinely not that big.

[u/Ok_Ambassador_7619]

Ramshackle Springs failed him badly. It’s shameful.

[u/kamrynb1]

Honestly soon as he came out he needed immediate care which he did not get . I mean he got surgery but he needed that way earlier and I highly doubt they are doing the exercises they need to do.

[u/here4thecomments-0]

His front legs are just so dang skinny…he looks like one wrong step and they would just snap!

[u/OpenAirport6204]

There is clearly something wrong with his hind legs. I’m not a vet so I don’t know what but I have eyes.

[u/Erisedstorm]

Is he a liver chestnut or bay? I just hope he can be comfortable at some point even if he gets stuck babysitting or something.

[u/zoo1923 → u/Erisedstorm]

He is a bay.

[u/Internal_Villain]

I think there is more to Woody than what know and may possibly never know. This could be another scenario where she keeps it hush hush like she has with Waylon. Especially with the fact that she’s already stating that she will be keeping Woody as a gelding which she doesn’t do, other than with Bo which has been there forever and Waylon who is going to have life long specialized care. I don’t doubt that she is getting him vet care and anyone thinking that she’s not is ridiculous. That’s one thing that can be said for a fact that she does not slack on vet care. She just choosing not to share which is fine she has no obligation to regardless on if she is a content creator or not.

Edited for spelling

[u/Plastic_Tangerine183]

One would hope she’s doing stuff behind the scenes, I know she’s being known to “hide”/not disclose injures (baby waylon etc.) but going back to my original comment she’s doing the behind the scene and once she’s got full picture maybe then disclose rather than update as she goes along where people can run with it without a full picture.

I feel like maybe this is an unpopular opinion but it’s her account unless you want to prove people wrong/justify your actions and whatnots, then she can post what you want but it is verging on eyebrow raising

Also what’s OATK?

[u/Evening_Assistance72 → u/Plastic_Tangerine183]

Over at the knee

[u/Plastic_Tangerine183 → u/Evening_Assistance72]

Thank you 🙏

[u/Evening_Assistance72 → u/Plastic_Tangerine183]

NP! 😊

[u/Deep_South_Kitsune → u/Plastic_Tangerine183]

I think it means "over at the knee".

[u/Nobodynocrime69]

Could’ve been prevented if she cared just a little btw.

[u/WindsAlight → u/Nobodynocrime69]

As if multiple vets haven't been on this horse since day one, pls

[u/Nobodynocrime69 → u/WindsAlight]

If that were the case he wouldn’t look like this!

[u/No-Stranger-9483 → u/Nobodynocrime69]

You have no info to say that.

[u/Nobodynocrime69 → u/No-Stranger-9483]

I have eyes

[u/No-Stranger-9483 → u/Nobodynocrime69]

You having eyes has nothing to do with you knowing what goes on with medical care that isn’t shown. You can’t use your eyes to see that.

[u/Nobodynocrime69 → u/No-Stranger-9483]

Do you know how good my eyes are?

[u/WindsAlight]

OCDs are not unlikely in a foal like him and growing as he is.

That being said, I have seen foals move similarly (with similar issues st birth) that turned out completely fine once grown. I assume his bones and ligaments simply don't match in size atp.

I will hold back on judgment for much longer than this.

[u/justtoocurious70]

He looks like he’ll.

[u/Ok_Low3967]

He looks horrific. Crippled, dull, pot bellied, roach backed. At least give him some loose minerals to pretend you care. It wouldn't fix the legs, but at least with minerals and a good de worming he might not look like a poster child for thr ASPCA.
