My friend Debbie bought Spice and has been having a wonderful time
with her. They trail ride, do dressage, and Spice lives in a beautiful
private estate. Lots of pasture, 14x18 stalls, lovely big ring, trails
right out the property. She is a couple of miles from me.
Spice got cast badly several months ago and got pretty beat up. She
apparantly hit her left hind ankle and caused some real scarring/
calcification; and tore/sprained/strained her left hip/SI/pelvis. She
has been on and off lame since.
So Deb is going to give her to me for several months to see if we can
get her sound. Whee! I love Spice. We will pull her shoes, put her in
the Revitavet, try the Feld body work, the deep tissue, etc etc etc. I
will take vids of her progress and start a soundness blog or put her
on FB or something.
She'll come over in a couple of weeks. She looks good, but is lame in
her right front with to me pretty acceptable age related ringbone;
left hind with the scarring/calcification of her ligament attachments
from her cast episode; and her pelvis is held to the left and you can
feel the shortened muscle on the left.
Wish us luck! She is such great mare. If I get her sound, Deb will
give her to me. If not, she will breed her to one of the wonderful
stallions we have in this area.

Geez, did all the horses get together and declare this "let's get ourselves
cast" week???
I haven't had a horse get cast in...ever...until Scout last week (in a
freakin' feed bunk, fercrissakes), and now this one...okay, she did it
first, but still...

I remember reading somewhere about chicken babies, I think it was, and
that they often don't know about drinking, so you're supposed to push
their little beaks in the water a few times - have you read that?
good luck with them!
