> Was there evidence of sidebone?
I've had two sets of X-rays of Star, we're going to do
front views very soon to see the exact formation, but
she does have sidebones.

> How old was the horse?
Somewhere between 6 and 9. She's an unregistered
mustang.

> Was the horse lame?
She moves rather strangley upfront when she's shod or
in need of a trim. As long as I keep her barefoot and
am very careful about keeping everything in it's
proper balance she does okay for me. I don't know if
her sidebones are contributing to her front end
mystery lameness, she's got a previous shoulder and
tendon injury.

> How was the horse used? Arena only? Trail only?
> Gymkhana? Endurance? NATRC?
Star is used for light jumping (with rider up to 18",
lunge up to 3'), trails, Dressage, barrels, cows,
etc... There's nothing she won't do for me. 

She doesn't seem to be in any pain, sometimes when she
sets her foot down it's like she stepped on a rock or
somethign and she'll jerk it back up. I had no idea
exactly what was going on until I had a saddler
fitting us and she told me. Star will not do it for
the vet or farrier. >ggg<
