Almost everything we do to "treat" them actually makes them take longer and get worse. <br /><br />I am glad Carmen healed so fast.

It was 10 days before it blew out despite soaks! <br /><br />The photos show so many lovely moments.

I tend to let her rush into it which means I'm trying to fix the canter from the get go. Riding is certainly hard!Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03346020257901575574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8459505622378142466.post-11099075129687297552017-08-13T03:18:30.841-03:002017-08-13T03:18:30.841-03:00I'm glad she recovered from her mysterious lam...I'm glad she recovered from her mysterious lameness.
