Subject: RC: unsoundess problem..
Hi RCers!
A friend of mine has a mare that has been unsound due to a
fall in the round pen. Anyone with any suggestions or former experience with
this would be appreciated. email me private if you dont want to clutter this
list. A snip of her email to me is below ... thats all the info I have at this
point, but can get more info on her. I think that she fell playing or being
worked in a round pen.
She is 15 hands {really}
and might have a longish back. To me she looks pretty well put together
size/height proportionate etc. Hopefully there is more in this mare's future
than a brood mare/ pasture potato.
Thanks ahead of
time.

>>My Arabian mare is unsound due to a fall
in
my round pen. At the time of her fall it seemed like
no big
deal, however 2 years later she's still lame.
The vet blocked her starting
at the hoof and ending at
the shoulder and she never became sound. I
sent her
to pasture life for seven months with no progress.
She can run
free and you'd never know she's lame. If you
saddle her and ride her
it's obvious. My vets guess
is whithers or neck.
