There was a horse in the SE that competed for 2 or 3 years with it.  He had 
the surgury but still lifted his hind leg higher than normal.  The Vets at 
the U of Tennessee who did the surgury, gave the owner a letter to carry to 
the rides explaining stringhalt and the surgury etc. and the horse was never 
refused entry.  As best I can remember, he did pretty well.  The horse was 
4th in the "infamous" 2hour
38 minute 50 miler done one year.  I think he was a "slow" 2 hr. 44 min.  LOL
