My mare got rings from the OD. We did as much hard road riding as we 
could to simulate the concussion training for it but she still got rings 
- not lame. We got rings from going out West in 2001 - was it the 
trailer ride or the rides we did? I have no idea.  I have noticed minor 
rings from a lot of things. We got rings for West Nile. We will probably 
get rings from this cold weather we are having in FL this year. A lot of 
things can bring on rings. Unless there is something else, I wouldn't 
worry much about it.
