Don't sleep with the BO's husband.

Woo boy howdy did that one get crazy.......

To be honest I won't know if it helps because I'm going to be changing too much at once - her feet will be aggressively shod this week, and then she will...

I believe this probably made more sense before it was simple to FedEx a horse across the country or even across the pond. People would use local stallions,...

Took the mare to Purdue, got her on the lameness locator.

LEFT hind pushoff lameness.

*sigh*

She was given a neuro...

Update:

Butt strap arrived. I was planning on giving the mare a day off, but what the hell. I'll just lightly lunge with it on. Plus it...

Right or wrong, this is why I stopped using my reins with stops and went to a plain ol' rubber set....

There are so many replies, I can't quote them all!

First off, thank you again to everyone who has taken the time to read my mare's plight....

[endlessclimb]

He has, and didn't mention anything. As far as switching...

See this picture for what a renowned CJF in the area calls a short backed horse....

Was going to mention this as well. Otherwise, I think she's pretty cute....

[endlessclimb]

One of the times she was at Purdue, they did a basic neuro exam. I honestly don't remember exactly what that entailed, but I remember it being mentioned....
