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.
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.
