Leg wounds are the worst and the two young studs that we have bred that are the nicest and most likely to have show careers have both hurt their legs. Blue was really good and I had no problems with him, the whole ordeal over 4-5 months actually made us very close. Taxes on the other hand could have been a problem if his hadn't healed so quickly. I was surprised that it did and will take a pic tomorrow of the scar which isnt as bad as I thought it would be.<BR/><BR/>The judges do tend to mark down for scars which is a real shame. Echo will settle down eventually once she understands that you dont want to mess with her anymore, it is such a shame, you know it is for her own good but how do you tell them that when they have pain and you seem to be the source of it for them. Sigh. She is a beautiful filly.<BR/><BR/>Lori<BR/>xxLori Schmidt (LoriProPhoto)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01786227217137143996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053415389447235937.post-34387755576838434422007-10-11T19:05:00.000-07:002007-10-11T19:05:00.000-07:00I hope she gets over the trauma pretty quickly. If...I hope she gets over the trauma pretty quickly. If I were an Arab breeder I don't think I'd mind the scar. I would probably use her for a great trail horse, if the scar would count against her even in performance events (although I hope it's not that way!) and later for breeding. She could definitely be a great producer - I hope other people look at it the same way!Original Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08503068909740890309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053415389447235937.post-56131027016686705532007-10-11T15:52:00.000-07:002007-10-11T15:52:00.000-07:00Poor thing.

Did I miss something in a previous post? I haven't read everything, but do know about the twin foals and the huge vet bills. I like Scandalous Dare! She's pretty and my type of horse. I've always wanted a Khemo decendant, but I can't afford a horse or a place to board one. :(Bill and Darlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09489582642328030311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053415389447235937.post-39490861160009096652007-10-11T08:37:00.000-07:002007-10-11T08:37:00.000-07:00I had this problem with one of my horses.

But he had to let me know what his opinion was about being doctored each and every time during that long healing process.

And the steroid shots? <BR/><BR/>I had a bad scar on me that had to be "revised." That meant a bigger scar where they made the incision, and then the new scar started to look as bad as the old. So they had to do it AGAIN, making an even bigger incision. Fortunately, they used some kind of steroid shot in the wound and I had to wear a silicon patch for six months or so, but the scar is nice and flat now. (It was hypertrophic.)<BR/><BR/>Good luck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053415389447235937.post-81759621170521988402007-10-11T05:38:00.000-07:002007-10-11T05:38:00.000-07:00Awwww....poor girl!

She is good about everything else just worried about that leg.<BR/><BR/>Tonight I tried to take a picture of it to post and there was NO WAY she was going to let me turn that part towards me. Poor filly. Once I did het her cornered, I stroked that leg and she was pretty good about it. But I never did get a picture I could use.Rising Rainbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04239592070775412669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053415389447235937.post-49586617879374711772007-10-10T20:13:00.000-07:002007-10-10T20:13:00.000-07:00Oh that poor filly.

She'll get over it eventually, but it just tears at you when they get so defensive over something that's for thier own good.<BR/><BR/>My Nahima was like that when she hurt herself last Dec. It was almost May before I could even touch her again.<BR/><BR/>She's much better now, so they do come around. :)Lady Of Chaoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15528836839856266688noreply@blogger.com
