Lame

In other news, we are battling lameness with Star again.  I suspected that she had some arthritis starting in one of her hocks but the soreness was coming from the other hock.  I started her on some joint supplements and she seems to be responding very well.  Part of me wonders if she took a bad step out in the pasture because we rode her on a Saturday afternoon and then on Tuesday she was LAME.  Three legged, couldn't trot, LAME.  The other day I went out with her grain and she trotted up to me, without pain so I think we are heading in the right direction.  I haven't tried her in the round pen yet, that's coming soon.  If she's good, we will try riding for a few minutes and go from there.  I don't want to re-injure her so we will take it slow.

Until next time!
