[RC] Heart Murmur Info Please - edna leigh libby

I was just told this morning that my 6 year old mare
Lucy has a heart murmur. It was defined as 1-2
resting, 2-3 after 4 minutes of trot / canter on the
lunge. I was told that is a good sign as it was
behaving as a physiological murmur rather than a
pathological one (?). She will go to Rochester Equine
Clinic in NH to see the cardiac specialist there in
the near future for testing to help define it more, so
I can know if she can continue training with CTR in
mind.

I am very anxious. I hope some of you have some
stories of horses doing fine with Murmurs!
