Especially after an injury. All the other tissues in the vicinity have to take up the load that once wasn't theirs and it fatiques those healthy tissues. We age, they age. This in turn creates an alteration in the gate. No Xray, MRI, scoping, imagings will detect this. Only exploratory surgery might possibly tell, maybe. But who wants to put their horse thru something that is conjecture. I wouldn't. You certainly don't. If only our horses could talk... Stretching might be the best, the only bet before each ride.... to lengthen those tissues that have contracted and/or loosen up those that are tight...

I think we often mock that which we don't understand...it's not for everyone...could be ...all the tools are in your possesion already.

I know you only want the best for your horse, and are willing to go to any extreme to help him... even some places that are, shall we say, outside of the norm?<BR/><BR/>Let's see what the new (old) shoes do for him. I certainly have a lot more faith in your ferrier than Miss Cleo.craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02388636774837622008noreply@blogger.com
