At least you have back-ups to saddle and can still get some runs in!

It's already a problem. <br /><br />I wanted to get a few runs on him, see if I couldn't nurse him along this summer and consider having his left stifle worked on this fall. I am coming to believe that he has stretched one or more of those ligaments and will have to have something done to correct that. I don't know if there is actual damage to the joint or not. The popping has stopped, so I my fingers crossed that does not reappear.BrownEyed Cowgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03610547057139295854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6550515326326288148.post-45744463981775938792012-05-14T13:35:57.943-06:002012-05-14T13:35:57.943-06:00Ringo pulled his stifle last year - poor bugger wo...Ringo pulled his stifle last year - poor bugger would go to walk and it was a like a rubber band was needing to get pulled tight until it broke and then his hind leg would shoot up and forward. It was painful to watch. I thought it was about over for him- just when we were in a good point of getting him broke...But the good of it was that it healed fast and he could still be excercised at a trot to build that back up. I was told to keep backing to a minimum and not to let him run full out as that stretches the stifle out and if there has been damage causes it to hang up and 'pop'. Since the first few days last year after the injury I haven't seen any problems with it. <br /><br />Keep an eye on Moon, but since he's in good shape you probably won't have any lasting issues! As long as he puts his full weight on the leg - keep him legged up by trotting him and build those legaments tighter. And don't back him for awhile. <br /><br />Good luck.Danielle Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04637508490808890254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6550515326326288148.post-91563553307397884682012-05-14T13:29:50.983-06:002012-05-14T13:29:50.983-06:00Glad you're okay, too!

I saw Beamer roll once right next to corral panels and get one leg through- scared the tar outa me but he was ok, just a little hair missing.<br />Gotta love Spooks, it sounds like he would be a perfect horse for some little girl to learn to compete on.Shirleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15454110560303310751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6550515326326288148.post-83381184274660732412012-05-13T06:45:12.931-06:002012-05-13T06:45:12.931-06:00Boy, can I empathize with the recurring roadblocks...Boy, can I empathize with the recurring roadblocks with Moon; our leopard stallion has had the same kind of luck his entire life, starting with being a preemie! <br />~spotz58Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6550515326326288148.post-59819504187699201262012-05-13T05:03:06.382-06:002012-05-13T05:03:06.382-06:00Oh man, not good about Moon.
