Joyce,
Are you on the endurance or trail lists??  If so could you
ask if anyone knows
how a horse with stringhalt would fare on these rides in
regard to judging.
The gelding in question is sound and his way of going 
doesn't change.  He is
not lame, just has a different way of going.  So, if at the
initial vet check
this condition was declared and observed, would he be
allowed to start and,
given the condition doesn't change, finish the
ride............. MA
