I rider opted out of the ride due to my mare
being a little off, but I had fun crewing for my friend's Lynn Kenelly who
placed seventh on "Super Sonny" and Max Hipps who completed as
well.
The lesson I learned was always always check how
your farrier shoes your horse. We use a great farrier but he evidently
got in a hurry and I had shoes that were very un-level and caused some
unnecessary stress to my mare's leg. It's my fault too for not checking
behind my farrier but he had always shod her well in the past. The moral
of the story is to know your horses angles and make sure they have level
feet. Many thanks to Ken Marcella and Matt Frazier for helping me with
her shoeing problem and to Nina and Duane Barnett for their extra ice
boot!
