Re: Check ligament injury

["Joan Ruprecht" <ruprecht@tidepool.com>]

YES YES YES

GUESS  I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS QUESTION

MyHorse C-Bow's Gola (now 22 and a half and has 6025 AERC miles, Many
championship Ride and Ties, and numerous uncounted LD's.)  had this happen
to her when she was16, and had less than 3000 AERC miles.

She has since her injury (and before) done numerous multiday rides always
successfully.

The check ligament injury was my fault and I knew it and knew I owed it to
C-Bow's to do whatever necessary.

I figured if I was told to lay her off for six months no problem, so after
six months insead of trying her at a ride I would have her
ultra sounded and finally after over a year I started riding  her again.

You can tell by her milage she isstill doing great.  Rode her on The Wild
West 2 day ride last weekend. I keep retiring her, or using her for my grand
kids and non rider friends.
