That's quite a thorough update on a lot of subjects! I'm sure Tuffy is glad to hear that your horse is again sound after foundering last year.

Haven't been on in a week due to our vacation down in SC. We went down to look at areas that might be attractive when I retire in 3 yrs.(Mr. Estrogen is already retired)
We went to Seabrook Island south of Charleston and I loved it but it is really pricey. They have an equestrian center with trails and beach rides, but I don't think we could afford it. We also looked at Moss Creek near Hilton Head. Nice area and reasonably priced. Only trouble, no trails. They are more attuned to showing which I don't do. I really want to go somewhere warm in the winter,I can't take Ohio winters anymore. Hope we find something.

I just wanted her to know that there is life after founder. I watch for arthritis flare ups but that was quiesent for a year. I was having people ask to ride her in shows again since she is a nice jumper and excellant trail horse. I have had my mare for 21 years and we have raced at steeplechases, done pair events over 4-7 miles with 25 - 30 fences. , x country , fox hunting , show and a lot of trails.
I have done dressage one day and raced the next. My mare which I use her name as my screen name has a sane mind and has generally been sound. Don't do as much now. I get too busy and she doesn't have quite the energy as she used to have.

My mom yelling Janis, what's wrong with Rebas horse?
To: Rhiannon
Well, glad she's doing so well.
My Bay is 23 and also doing pretty well, never foundered, but does have a bit of Navicular we're being careful about.

Also, I have found out founder may be the horses old age insulin reaction . Like old age diabetes being unable to deal with blood sugar. I think that due to her age she has more problems managing the blood sugar which triggered the founder symptoms. That would make sense for horses that are over weight getting founder.Easy keepers are more susceptible than TB horses.

Sorry for the double post
To: Rhiannon
Oh it sounds like you had a ball. Can't help but be proud of yourself and your mare with that kind of time, even if you'd done it 100 times :) Congrats!
