A follow on from what my daughter has said. 10 years ago we bought a 2 yr old arab/welsh. He suddenly went lame overnight. Called the vet in. Did all sorts of test. Nothing. then he done a flex test. Trotted him away on three legs. Literally, as we watched a splint appeared. I had never seen anything like it. Anyway to cut a long story short, within a year of two it disappeared and he went on to take champion in the same year at SWPA.
So dont give up hope, Yes, splints can disappear. It depends on what sort of splint it is. Zeus's was a grass splint. Caused, we suspect, by him playing with the other youngsters and turning too sharply. Mo Rogers

Hi if the splint is new you will be able to get rid of it, its only when they have gone cold they are there for good, again if its new definately magnetic boots might take it away , other than that there is a paint on solution that is called GOLD SPLINTEX, try the boots first though, it depends how much you want to get rid of the splint to use the splintex as it can make them a bit sore , but if it works its worth it. hope this helps

My horse did have enormous splints. I started using his bioflow magnetic boots for a different reason, and they have almost dissappeared.
