My horse has a Caudal Muscle Strain in his hind leg.
Has anyone's horse had this too?
I found on the web it may take a year to a year and a half to see improvement.

The vet said I could start light work with him, trotting and canter. On trail rides
we shoud try to avoid hills.

Any advice?

    no, i havn't personally dealt with this.
    I bet massage would help...ask the vet. maybe you could learn some techniques & do it yourself, there's always more to learn....

      Yep the Vet showed me how to massage the muscle area...how far it goes up ...
      It is really interesting to compare both his legs as well.
      He is healing...
