Stifle

Has anyone out there in cyberspace had a horse who has had stifle
problems as a youngster and still gone on to be quite competitive?

I am a newbie to CTR and have a 6yr old Arab, who had stifle problems as a 4
year old. We just competed in a 25 mile, CTR he did well, but he was off a
bit on that leg. My vet has encouraged me to continue to condition him
and build up those muscles to support that joint. I am concerned, or
maybe a bit paranoid.
I don't want to do more damage. Is the beginning of a very sad story or
just the beginning?
