I did want to say something about that picture of Charles and his Great Wooly Mammoth posing as a horse.  Charles, I kind of figured you might be a big guy (to me anyone over 5' 9" is oversized), but all I could see of you behind that beast was your head.  Were you taking a shower back there, I couldn't tell?  I thought I saw a puddle, or maybe it was just the lighting.  lol.     cya,  Howard (what size shoe does that horse take?)       ----- Original Message -----  From: Charles  Sent: Friday, November 08, 2002 11:06 PM  To: Brenda L. Kossowan; rides4fun@xxxxxxxxxxx; ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx  Subject: [RC] hope with ringbone? anyone try shockwave therapy?    I'm told by some friends in the eventing world that "shockwave therapy" was helpful with some problems their horses had.  I gave some thought to trying it with Keepers and Jon (my Percheron and Shire).
  Has anyone tried it?  I found two websites suggesting it might help with Ringbone.

  Charles PS: To give scale to the picture of Keepers, I'm 6' 1.75" (in the morning with my neck stretched as much as possible)
