RE: [RC] Eliminating the risk of pregnancy in mares - heidi

Actually, SuperGlue would be less invasive than a Casslicks procedure.  In the time that it takes the skin to grow and shed, the SuperGlue "repair" would be gone and the lips of the vulva would be completely normal.
 
Nonetheless, if a filly is rejected for this reason, it is simply and purely old-fashioned ignorance that has been kept going for generations in a group that has a reputation of not wanting to change in a lot of other areas as well.  In some ways, the track is on the cutting edge of medicine--in other ways, it is still in the dark ages.

When I was at the track in Delaware two months ago a
filly was rejected from the gate because she was not.
I asked what that was all about to someone next to me
in the Club House and he said, "race track owners
don't want the liability - this way the liability is
on the horse owner and/or trainer!"

I have not raced my filly yet only, Unanimous Vote, a
stud.  So, it is something that I will be asking Lynn
Ashby, my race trainer, when my filly, Ocala Lilly
goes to Delaware.  Just imagine how ballistic you
would be knowing that some of the trainers use "super
glue" instead of stitches!  Yep, that is what the guy
said to me.  "Too bad the trainer didn't have some
super glue with him!"
