I'm putting this on the Ridecamp list, from the CTR
list (with her permission), for someone who's asking for help for her
horse. If there is anyone who's familiar with this, can you please e-mail
her and help? I don't know anything about it, and in fact don't know her
or her horse, but I know the people on this list are very
knowledgeable. If anyone can help please do - thank you very
much!!!
Please respond to her e-mail directly, her e-mail
is: khoko1@xxxxxxxxxxx
Thanks -

Here's her post --
Just found out
today that my Arab, who's been lame on the right hind, has torn the ligament
that connects his lumbo-sacral joint to the pelvis. I am told his athletic days
are over and he will need steroid shots for the pain. It will take 8-12 months
for the ligament to heal and it will never be 100%. All the plans I had for the
two of us are ruined...I am devastated. Please send me any and all information
you have about these kinds of injuries....any ray of hope would be nice,
too...but I need to except it if there is none. Thanks, Sharon R1 with the
bold pony ...and no longer in need of an endurance/trail saddle because I will
not be doing CTR
