Re: [RC] fever rings - Laura HayesThanks, but to see the actual horn broken really bothers me! My husband and I were just talking about it this morning, as Music got horizontal cracks from the National ride, and I did not ride hard, the weather was good, and there were not alot of roads....I feel like I am abusing him! We campaigned a horse years ago named Rushcreek Kapper, who did the same thing - just frustrating.

We did as much hard road riding as we could to simulate the concussion training for it but she still got rings - not lame. We got rings from going out West in 2001 - was it the trailer ride or the rides we did? I have no idea. I have noticed minor rings from a lot of things. We got rings for West Nile. We will probably get rings from this cold weather we are having in FL this year. A lot of things can bring on rings. Unless there is something else, I wouldn't worry much about it.

He is never lame from it, and we can not seem to connect it to hard roads, heat, speed or other outside factors. It is very disconcerting to me, but since he appears to suffer no ill effects, other than cosmetic, I guess I am not willing to retire him because of it. Any thoughts?
