Forgot to mention. They told me to bring Gunner back in an hour or so
after the adrenaline had worn off and he'd probably show the lameness
more noticably. Took him back and they couldn't even see it as he jogged
away, but could see it intermittantly as he came back. 

One vet palpated and felt no digital pulse or soreness. One thought he
had strained his shoulder. 
Ken Marcellas looked at him with his thermal camera and his left fetlock
to hoof was lit up (heat) so there was the culprit. I'm glad they stopped
us before we did more. Hopefully just a sprain possibly from that out of
control slide down the hill on the blue loop. This morning he's good on a
straight line but I can see it on circle to left. I'm *glad* they stopped
me. That's what we pay them for. :-)  Overall, I think he showed me he
*is* a 100 mile horse. He was extremely bright eyed and taking care of
himself at 70 miles, so I'm still hopeful. Not all trails are that high
risk for sure.
