I did want to say something about that picture of Charles and his Great Wooly Mammoth posing as a horse. Charles, I kind of figured you might be a big guy (to me anyone over 5' 9" is oversized), but all I could see of you behind that beast was your head. Were you taking a shower back there, I couldn't tell? I thought I saw a puddle, or maybe it was just the lighting. lol. cya, Howard (what size shoe does that horse take?) ----- Original Message ----- From: Charles Sent: Friday, November 08, 2002 11:06 PM To: Brenda L.

I'm told by some friends in the eventing world that "shockwave therapy" was helpful with some problems their horses had. I gave some thought to trying it with Keepers and Jon (my Percheron and Shire).
Has anyone tried it? I found two websites suggesting it might help with Ringbone.

Charles PS: To give scale to the picture of Keepers, I'm 6' 1.75" (in the morning with my neck stretched as much as possible)
