Base colors, from left to right: white, buckskin, flaxen chestnut, bay, black, dapple gray, and dark bay. Villages naturally generate with stables and animal pens containing horses.Īll 35 colorations of horses. 20% of all individual horses spawn as foals. All members of the herd have the same color, but markings may vary. For horses, all combinations of color and markings are equally likely. Horses spawn in plains and savannas in herds of 2–6. Notice the same color but different markings. He kind of always done it (but he’s kind of always had body issues) so I think that’s his “way” and showing that he’s uncomfortable.Naturally spawned horse herd. Also feels better after he’s good and warmed up. Obviously, in those cases, regular exercises is going to be your best bet and pasture turnout.įor the video in the sand, does he normally throw his head around like that? My boy Red does the same thing under saddle and out in the pasture, and he’s barely sound enough to ride this year. When they seem to “work out of it” (and he’s worse being in a stall) then it’s usually more stiffness type issues from old injuries and/or arthritis. So maybe…maybe… since it’s his right side that bothers him, it “goes away” at the trot because he’s got the opposite limb to help compensate at the trot? Totally a crazy theory on my part but a theory.

In the video on grass, if it’s the front foot that’s going to be the right front based on his head bob, but the right hind also doesn’t move quite right. See what your vet says, but maybe work could improve on this. So maybe yours is a little more pronounced since it’s noticeable in freedom. Same here, horse not resting one hind more than another and nothing noticeable immediately after the ride, nor in turnout or walking in hand, only when on lunge or under saddle.

However give him several days off in a row and it’ll be very noticeable. When he’s in a program ridden daily with a fair amount of turnout, it’s less to the point sometimes not there at all. Giving horse a good massage (croup region) in hindend, or use Magnawave or overnight BOT at times totally left out the initial hitch at the walk. He’d be hitchy at the beginning of ride, totally fine trot/canter, very solid lateral work at both trot & canter, good lead changes, easy to collect for more diffcult work and actually normal walk at the end of the ride, albeit at times the odd hitch may still be noticeable, depending on how much work he had. In my case it is thought to originate from a tightness due to old SI/ileum ligament scar tissue, which the horse works out of when warmed up. He short steps on the left hind, but there’s a delay in bringing the right hind forward, the leg stays quite a bit behind him, so which leg has the problem? Whether the issue is right or left hind, depends on how you look at it. Well just my 2cts, as I have dealt with a similar situation. Other than the tack walk on Saturday he hasn’t been ridden, just turnout.

Back to walk and it looks short again on right front. Today, he walks better and better the longer he goes but if I have him stand awhile and start again he walks short again to start. I made him stand for a minute and asked to walk again and felt off again but got better the longer he walked. Even though he was pretty off Saturday I tack walked him for about 25 min on grass and on dirt and he got a lot better so I tried the trot for a minute and he felt sound. No medication given since last Tuesday morning (robaxin). Yesterday he looked better and today a little better even than yesterday. Lameness had completely resolved by last Wednesday (day 5) but on Saturday he was just as lame as day one. His walk is a lot better but still not 100%. Video on dirt is what he looks like now about a week later. Video on grass was the first day of lameness (Saturday 7/27)
