Posted on Friday, Oct 25, 2013 - 12:46 am: My vet ultrasounded this lesion on my horse's front right forearm, between the extensors.The lesion had been larger in July but with massage, ultrasound, and reduced work, has decreased in prominence. I attach the ultrasound and also a pic of its location on the foreleg. My vet admits to a soft tissue injury for my horse's grade 1/2 lameness but we are not 100% certain the lesion was the issue, as my horse had imbalanced feet as well. He overweights the left front while circling right but has not head bob and is visually sound now. Would this lesion be part of a tendinous sprain, or a stress point like a trigger point, or pulled muscle fiber? Can you tell by its location the nature of the tissue underneath? In the picture, I placed a dot of purple duct tape on the site of the lesion; hopefully it is visible. It doesn't feel like muscle belly. What would this be?
