Money is the only thing some people worship and it's a shame to go through life like that. You were right to fight for your horse and your daughter. Glad it didn't go to the courts and it all worked out well in the end.Grey Horse Mattershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05837575441967937196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053415389447235937.post-18302102364400544962010-02-09T22:30:08.467-08:002010-02-09T22:30:08.467-08:00English Rider, you're right about it not being...English Rider, you're right about it not being easy. It really is a shame it has to come down to picking sides. The world would be so much better off if people would be interested in what is good for more than just themselves.<br /><br />Fantastyk Voyager, no the injury was not from kicking. The initial reason he was off was a slight strain to his suspensory ligament. The vets figure he laid down with the weak leg underneath him. When he tried to get up the suspensory couldn't handle its usual load putting excess strain on the colateral ligament. That ligament is a small one on the side of the fetlock and is not designed to take load only to keep the bones in place from what I understand. With the excess pressure the ligament blew and the bones popped out of place.<br /><br />photogchic, I wonder to this day whether that vet would have taken the risk of finding out what a jury would think. I could tell by the look on his face he was not pleased that I brought it up. Believe me if he had euthanized that horse my next stop would have been a lawyer. I felt like I was fighting for my daugher's life not just that of the horse.Rising Rainbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04239592070775412669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053415389447235937.post-1167251880866663562010-02-09T21:53:12.970-08:002010-02-09T21:53:12.970-08:00Wow.
