How Long Does It Take Broken Withers On A Horse To Fully Heal?
She also has a fracture in her sacrum and some muscle trauma in her back. It has only been 4 months. Not sound to be ridden and pain seems to be from withers area. (8 years old). Only needs to recover enough to do light riding.

Of course, she'd been to the vet!!! The accident she had was VERY traumatic. She required 4 weeks of me dragging my children with me 3 times a day to ice, medicate, or hand walk. My vet is extremely vague on how long it will REALLY take to heal, so I was wanting some horsey person that has a horse or has known of one that had this break. It's been 5 months and the fracture in her hind end has healed nicely. She's feeling good except for those withers.

My horse flip over in a trailer , he is 16.1 and broke his withers he was stall rest for 1 1/2 to 2 weeks( he could not walk and needed to be iced daily ) one vet told me it would take him one year to ride, i 'm a barrel racer , so it is hard riding (im guessing due to the lack of her knowledge in this certain case) compared to a vet that had more experience , said that it usually takes 6 weeks for bones to heal , not involving tissue damage ofcourse , but my horse has been out since then and is pain free (lucky considering it was a very bad accident) and i plan to start riding him in the spring time and work on his trailering again.. Im guessing laura that it would really depend , on the way your horse is built , the fractures and his or her's mobility , again it only takes 6 weeks to heal bones , but the rest is damaged tissue ! His accident was horific and his nice big wither's are completly vanished and now replaced by an emptiness in between his shoulder's, but he is as active as ever ,,, i would say everyone's problem is specific and if you are not sure about it ,ask around . Best of luck for you and never give up !!

As far as i've been told 6-8 months an the horse should be turned out to recover after the first 30-60 days !!! Then re-x-ray to be sure has healed before you put weight on it!!!!! Build back slowly to your usual routine!!
