Ridecamp: [RC] A little more Help on Windpuffs

Hi Y'all,

John gave me some postings on windpuffs, and they answered some of my 
questions.  This mare I Got has them bad though... from stress on her legs 
at track.. or?  I have no idea.  Her back feet need alot of work.  I have 
the farrier coming out right away to do her feet to see if that helps.  She 
has windpuffs on both back and nearside front leg. When I went and saw her 
she had them and she was just standing in the leantoo. Yesterday, after 
being in the field, they went down.  Now I know in eventing, they have no 
rules against riding a horse with windpuffs.  I am just worried, that after 
trailing to an endurance ride, she will have puffed up again and the vets 
wont let me ride.  Can you ride with windpuffs?  Its not a lameness 
issue.... but I know already from experience that some vets are bit 
picky(with complete understanding.)  And if it is an issue... then already 
at 6yrs of age, she gets them nighty/dayly, I would not take her if I could 
not compete...  Thanks for any help you can give me:)
Sarah:)
