Re: [RC] re: competition scratches - rides2far

I don't think that it is a fungus that > causes the scratches that

form during a ride. I believe it is his 

immune > system overreacting to the trauma of the miles of trotting. 


That wouldn't explain why Jody's horse's immune systems have problems and
my horse's immune systems don't. The fact that horses from her place get
to a ride looking great and have scratches by the end of the ride and
mine don't doesn't make sense to me. Maybe someday it will hit my place
but I can't get over how much effort she puts into preventing it while I
do nothing and hers get it.

I don't think it's the sand or it would be on the bulbs. It's just a line
right at the back of the pastern where it folds over during the stride.
