Question on a splint.

[DAldr94141@aol.com]

Hi. I was in a 15 mile novice ride (yes, I am still a newbie) and the vet 
said my 12 yr. old mare had a splint that was rubbing on a tendon in her 
front right leg. Does anyone know if that will hinder her progress as a 
future endurance horse? It doesn't bother her yet. Is this something that 
will later? We love to play with jumps, just 12 inchers and lots of trail 
rides. She's only been on trail for 1 year. I've owned her for 2 yrs. and the 
last owners did nothing with her. She weaves when left alone in her stall, so 
we avoid that. But, when we go to a ride, she'll weave till she's dripping 
wet if there isn't another horse in her corral. Does anyone have any 
comments? Thanks, Deb and Sha Gay (no, I am not gay Barb)
