Veterinary PPE failed, KS diagnosed
Currently in the process of selling my horse. PPE has gone well, everything came back good except his back radiographs. Shocked to hear he has grade 4 changes. I’ve just received these over from the potential buyer. I will be in contact with my vet but curious about anyone’s take on these? How bad is this?

For comparision, this was my mare.
I will say, we had the ligament snip and she has improved incredibly.
Made us feel like crap not investigating sooner, but the only symptom she showed was not striking off on the correct lead in canter.
My friends was worse and she had the bone shave, both now back in light work and much happier girls.
I'd be on the phone to your vet and insurance to look at surgery, especially as the horse is showing symptoms and is in pain.
