JP :> Anyone ever have a horse they had trouble with keeping JP :>on shoes?? I'm Jean, you say she's not overstepping, but I'll bet you dollars to donuts that's exactly what's happening. Chances are she's doing it when you're not looking (g). Is she doing it when turned out? Could be that when she gets to running around, that's when it happens. Shiloh's done this once or twice, and it's always when she's been tear-a**ing around the paddock. Ask your farrier to trim her the way he would if this were definitely the case, and then see what happens. (There's also a farriers forum on the net, where you can post questions...might be worth a try.) Pretty frustrating, huh?

Hi Erica, EP|DB The barn I board my horse at (one of them, the rest are at ome) EP|DB is run by an Olympian and her International Calibre husband. I haven't EP|DB been up there in a while and, I just found out recently that he had EP|DB coliced REALLY bad last week. A friend from the barn told me and, the EP|DB people who run the barn never called me. I want to stay there because EP|DB the coaching is so good but, after that incident, I don't knw what I EP|DB should do. I love the other boarders up there too. I am thinking of EP|DB bringing him home and trailering up there for lessons and during the EP|DB winter go to a different barn that may not be as good. Does this sound EP|DB reasonable to any one??? An incident like this happened before and, it EP|DB was a friends horse who broke his leg and she didn't find out until 2 EP|DB days later when she went up to ride him. Any suggestions as to what I EP|DB should do? This horse has Olympic potential as well as I. I just on't EP|DB think that this was a fair and wise decision to make about not calling EP|DB me. PLEASE HELP!!! I'm *really* sorry to read the above. :-((( I'm not qualified in any way to advise you, but my gut instinct suggests that (subject to cost), you get a lawyer to draw up a contract for the stables to sign. It should clearly state their future responsibilities and associated penalties. I assume Canada has a national association who could offer you some help. In the meantime, there are many in here who become active when the need arises! If you've been keeping in touch with the pet echoes, you'll have come across Tammy J Wilson. AFAIK, she isn't into horses, but she's had *very* similar problems with other people *supposedly* looking after her pets. She's one hell of a nice person (judging from her posts) and you'd do well to look her up. AFAIR, she moved from BC to Toronto, so she may well be within a few miles of you! Please tell us about your horse. (S)he'll need to be stabled through a Toronto winter I guess, even if a hardy breed. I remember meeting you on another echo a year ago, but I was using my girlfriend's computer and lost a load of posts and email when we parted. Anyway, looking forward to more info from you. You might have come across people who don't care as much as they claim, but I promise you that the regs in here care every bit as much as you do! Got to be up for work in 3 hours and want to post this first. :-( All the best to both of you and *keep smiling*! Dave --- ViaMAIL!/WC4 v1.30 * Origin: Ooh! BBS, London.

Yep ..... that's when she's lost them -- in the pasture - and THIS time Buddy SAW them running around like crazy. That was Friday and the only day I didn't clean her feet or rinse her down. Saturday I noticed right away that she was missing a shoe. Buddy went out in the pasture and looked for the hoe -- he found it almost exactly where the horses had been running/playing. > Ask your farrier to trim her the way he would if this were > definitely the > case, and then see what happens. (There's also a farriers > forum on the net, > where you can post questions...might be worth a try.) Ok ....... I thought he WAS doing that -- maybe not enough. Our farrier told us when we got her that he could tell she was overstepping on her left side as she had a tiny "scar" on her left front pastern (that is what it's called -- right above the hoof on the backside). He told us he corrected hat and rolled the toes so she wouldn't do it. Maybe he didn't do it enough on the right side. I'll make sure I question him about it next time he comes out. > Pretty frustrating, huh? Yep ...... she's the only one we've ever had problems with like this ...... AND, SEDONA is only turned out for about 3-4 hours a day (we didn't change er patterns - that's how she was treated at the barn she came from and she seems to like it that way -- she whinnies for you to come out and put her back in her stall).

Interesting.. most likely broke the back leg then, since it's rare that a full size horse would survive a serious leg break. Most horses do not do well in a sling and even coming out of the anstetic. It's a very difficult and expensive process. :/ BK --- DB A3000sl/001347 * Origin: * Conniption BBS * one fit at a time (1:102/861)
