[RC] sticky stifles - Amy Martin<<Gosh, Amy, what bad luck. I don't know about competing on a horse under the circumstances you are suggesting. even though she's a good mare, what is mile after mile of terrain going to do to those legs? I guess if she were my mare, I'd find a different job for her and find a horse who has the legs to hold up to distance competition. >> Ahh, but that is the dilemma, vet says long straight periods of trotting is what she needs to strengthen the quads to tighten the stifles so I was thinking this would be the sport for her. I have been hoping the miles will help her not hurt her. Am only novice in NATRC and have not done more than a 12.5 intro to endurance ride with her so miles are not adding up that fast. If I can not get it sorted out I guess we will be delegated to easy pleasure rides. I never knew how common this was and how many suffered with it till I started researching it.
