Subject: [RC] Spayed mares/sidebone/navicular
Does anyone have any experience with having mares spayed? We just bought a
9 yr. old mare that has never conceived and is just plain nasty when in
heat. Our vet is talking to us about having her spayed. Said that would
make her act more like a gelding.
Also, we are planning to have her feet xrayed to see if she would have any
problem doing endurance. Which would be the more important view to have
taken - a shot for possible side bone or for navicular? Evidently it
requires a different view to be taken. If necessary, we'll of course have
all views taken.
