Well, the correct length for a running martingale that I've always believed is just long enough so that you can push the martingale up to the throatlatch.

Oh JP :>gosh ...... I'm so sorry to hear about this. HOpe JP :>everything is OK .... keep us posted. Well, the x-rays were essentially negative, with the possible exception of a slight shadow along her tendon by the sesmoid. Vet really didn't think it was enough to cause the lameness. Then 2 days ago, I was cleaning her feet and along the white line back by her heel, I noticed an area that seemed kinda "gravelly". I dug at it and got some grainy stuff out. Looked almost like some of the footing from the arena had worked its way in there. Called the vet back...she may have a case of "gravel", so we're into hot soaks and antibiotics at the moment. She went on those Saturday, and I'm still not seeing much improvement if any. Give it a couple more days and then see. This is very frustrating! Another da**ed horse with symptoms and no definite cause! It could drive you crazy! If this doesn't work, I think I'll call in another vet. I really love my vet, but I'm not about to mess with this rse! I'll keep you posted.

I used to have it done every year, but not anymore. BK :> BK :>Thanks. Let me clarifiy this some (g). Most shows require a negative coggins whether you've crossed state lines or not. However, IF you cross state lines, you'd better have one! I don't have my horses done as we don't show, but if I did show, I'd have it done yearly.
