I just went through a splint bone issue too, and also checked with the vet, even did a recheck xray since it was in an awkward spot. Yeah for Farley (and you)!irish horsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11289040711028666546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1963277636652034473.post-2858621649932469632012-09-25T22:30:38.230-07:002012-09-25T22:30:38.230-07:00What is it this week about splint bones?

It's not that common to break the freakin' things, but I swear Farley is the third (maybe 4th?) horse I've heard of in the past week with this injury.<br /><br />Hana broke hers (right rear) several years ago, and it had to be surgically removed. She's perfectly good on it now, you'd never know unless you did x-rays and noticed that the splint bone is missing. She had already been retired from endurance anyhow, because her hocks just aren't good enough for the distance.AareneXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18072169739345465380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1963277636652034473.post-58309264919490949162012-09-25T19:43:56.297-07:002012-09-25T19:43:56.297-07:00Like when I took Indy to the vet for her eye, it w...Like when I took Indy to the vet for her eye, it was just chronic conjunctivitis and not something that would make her blind, but I learned so much!<br />SharleneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1963277636652034473.post-33338355137710885932012-09-25T15:13:55.754-07:002012-09-25T15:13:55.754-07:00Yeah, I've done it a couple times and it's...Yeah, I've done it a couple times and it's a good first 50.
