    Re: [RC] [RC] Sewing a Sheath Shut? - Carolyn Loedeman


    Carolyn,
    My old endurance mare had a caslicks done due to the fact as she trotted she
    would suck wind down to her uterus.  She had a big trot and it would bother
    her, so we did the deed.  She later produced a great daughter, so did not
    hurt her.
