[RC] Bone Spavin - Celeste Murray

Hi Val

I don't know much about bone spavin but my stallion was diagnosed with bog
spavin and ringbone in his one hind leg as a two year old, he is now 6 and
saterday placed 2nd in his first 30km endurance ride at a reasonable pace.
Sunday he was frisking around his paddock at home with no problems
whatsoever.

Subject: [RC]   Light Riding Question


My mare may possibly have bone spavin which hopefully
will be confirmed yes/no shortly after tax season.
Meanwhile am told that light riding should be pursued.

Can anyone provide ideas and parameters regarding what
exactly constitutes "light" riding?  Do understand
this does not include any LD/endurance riding...but
how about conditioning...i.e. what should the mileage
limitation be for this condition?  Mostly we would do
this at a walk with a small amount of trotting.  Would
5 miles be OK?  What about 10?
Personally am thinking 5 would be OK but perhaps 10
may be too much?
Thanks for your thoughts,
Val
