I'll tell the vets and hope for the best. <br /><br />None if the loops go back to camp though, all away vet checks (at least it was last year). I guess trails go back though. <br /><br />He was a fire breathing monster for a brief ride.

It'...It's now thursday.......Are you going? It's a hard decision. If you makes you feel better, I know the vets that are going to be vetting the ride and if you show it to them and tell them your concerns, they will definitely tell you if they think they see ANYTHING and you can pull. Also - you might get a refund if you come and then don't vet into the ride. Also there is multiple loops into camp which might make it easier to pull in the middle of the ride. <br /><br />How does he look today? Argh! Horses are so "fun"....Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16627065628317652042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4695120516623358773.post-85387027514033112342013-05-08T12:40:31.725-07:002013-05-08T12:40:31.725-07:00haha!

It IS early in the season, BUT it is only one of three rides I have planned. AND it is paid for. BUT his health is more important. BUT he seems sound and fine. AND there will be vets. BUT I don't want to push it.<br /><br />arrrgghhhh!<br /><br />I'm going to go out and do a quick ride this evening and see where are. If it is aggravated at all, I'll pull the plug on the whole idea. irish horsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11289040711028666546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4695120516623358773.post-5974194937805596712013-05-07T11:32:06.902-07:002013-05-07T11:32:06.902-07:00Wow, frustrating!
