I would love to have a log book/journal for all my
rides and horses. I am not that old, but the older I get, the better I was! Or
so I'd like to think.
When I started my mare a few years ago, all was
going well, until I started pushing for a tad more. Not top ten, or even top
half. But she pulled up lame, twice. I couldn't for the life of me, figure what
the problem was. Then one day when I was cleaning her stall, I noticed the faint
scare and I remembered when she had cut a tendon on the same leg she fell lame
on. The vet cut it again, before he sutured it, and said it would never be a
problem. I guess he was wrong.
BUT, if I had a log book at the time this happened,
I could have written that down. A log book would help riders both new and
experienced to see more clearly, all the nutrition, training, shoeing,
health problems and injuries that could give beneficial information when things
go wrong.
I would even pay extra for a log book when I
renewed. I keep a log of our training miles now, but it is in my running log
book and I would rather have a horsey log book. :)
