How long have your windgalls been established?

Wingalls normally appear due to a problem elsewhere i.e joint/foot problem. But not always. Do you notice it more when the horse is stabled, as they normally go down after exercise?

Bandage. Stable bandages then exercise bandages.

I had a similar problem which went undiagnosed by one vet who told me it 'was just a wind gall'. Got another vet to scan and found a hole in her SDFT.
Until you get it scanned you wont know what is going on in there.
Do let us know how you get on.

My horse is out-standing in her field.
