Windpuffs

[SJTHEPHOTO@aol.com]

hi all you ridecampers!

I've got a ? for you:  I have a 12 ish year old mare (POA) who I've been 
conditioning for 6 months and whe's getting really stong.  We've done a 30, 
and a 25 and are now ready to move on to a slow 50.  Her problem is she gets 
windpuffs.  We did a 30+ mile fun/conditioning ride on Saturday, and even 
after icing, liniminting, and wrapping, she's got swelling in her ankles.  
There is no heat, but puffy ankles and around the cannon bones (filling).  
She moves fine.

How concerned should I be?  Any suggestions are appreciated!

Thanks--SusanJ and Bellessima
