Movement has returned to jogging after developing a cherry splint and will likely have a published work in the next coupla weeks. We're still targeting the Santa Rosa meet in early to mid August for her debut.
One commenter notes dissent in both how preventable such ailments are and their treatment. I have asked around about how serious of an ailment this cherry splint is, and have been universally proffered as to it's mildness--at least in compare to setbacks a young horse might incur. As for the treatment, I haven't looked into it. I think the other options are pin firing or turning her out for many months. I'd be curious to hear the opinions of professionals on these, and any other options I'm not aware of. Any comments on prevention are also appreciated. At the same time, I trust my trainer and I'm not Monday morning Quarterbacking, but I am interested in all the details.
Note: I don't think my trainer reads my blog, other than the occasional post he finds by googling himself. Regardless, I see no reason to pull any punches. I genuinely believe he does a good job.
