[RC] "Hack" - Mike Sherrell

I am interested in the derivation and connotations of the word "hack" as
applies to riding. Would anyone care to venture a definition?

The vet was out this morning and did a lameness exam on Alpine.
The reason I couldn?t tell exactly which foot was sore is because
he?s lame on both fronts. She had him trotting out on a circle
and a straight line, and hoof tested him. He didn?t react to the
hoof testers at all?but he?s very stoic, and doesn?t show pain
until it?s bad. She thinks he is showing signs of either pedal
osteitis or navicular syndrome. Neither of which is good news.
So, next week we will taking Alpine down to the University of
Florida for a lameness work up, with X-rays and nerve blocks, and
all that fun stuff. Depending on the outcome, I?m thinking that
my little Paso just got retired from endurance completely. We are
hoping he?ll be ok just to hack around lightly. He?s only 14!
Al?s massage therapist was here this morning. She summed the whole
thing up for me by cussing. I agreed wholeheartedly.
