I've been reading all of the "Seabiscuit"
e-mails and I am wondering about all of the comments made about suspensory
injuries. My mare pulled or strained her lateral suspensory ligament on her
front right about a month ago. Ultrasound showed it to be swollen but not torn
and otherwise in good shape. My vet has my mare on a strict 6 month layup. She
said that since it was not torn the chance of it happening again is very minimal
and she feels 50 milers could still be in my future. Any
comments??
