Firstly he LOVES being in his stall. He’d be in there 24/7 365 days a year if we let him. Secondly he doesn’t run around when turned out…ever. I don’t think anyone has witnessed him take off running ever. And thirdly he’s been rehabbed for his legs many times so he knows the drill. We think that maybe he associates running with getting hurt so he doesn’t like to do it anymore. Smart thinking on his part if it’s true, bad for me when I want to canter him!K.K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10360917262733032331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-52371353161094311.post-24458535651099204602010-07-25T15:07:00.450-07:002010-07-25T15:07:00.450-07:00It does take TIME.

If I can give you hope that time literally will get her thru..you CAN do it on your own (with your vets help) you may not need to feel sooo guilty to take her to Pegasus. She is getting loved and cared for more than a lot would do for her, so feel good about that. <br />Oh and money spent..come on...I topped over $10k in about ohhhh 6 mths and we are STILL healing. <br />Btw-I've heard Pegasus boots are great boots that u can also turnout in. Dual purpose may be good for a tight budget.<br />Cut and paste to view:<br />http://www.pegasusnw.net/Greeting%20and%20Summary%20new%20products.htmKristen Eleni Shellenbargerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01458744919530540978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-52371353161094311.post-21199521086193493112010-07-23T21:58:35.709-07:002010-07-23T21:58:35.709-07:00I guess my reason for sending her to rehab was tha...I guess my reason for sending her to rehab was that I wanted it done "right" and I didn't trust myself to handle her and do it "on my own" so far it's going better than expected. It's amazing what you can do when you HAVE TO! <br /><br />Anna, that does make me feel better!!!!

Yes. My rat. She is easily the most expensive animal I have ever owned. Never ever AGAIN. Homeopathic remedies have saved her ten times over. Of course, I didn't research these options until AFTER the damage to my wallet was done :XAnnahttp://frizzlesworld.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-52371353161094311.post-47710794216948829602010-07-23T13:35:52.920-07:002010-07-23T13:35:52.920-07:00Stall rest is tough. I went through MONTHS of it ...Stall rest is tough. I went through MONTHS of it with my mare for two separate injuries. I didnt even KNOW rehab facilities existed until...wait for it...the day I gave her away. That day I went into the office of my farm and saw freshly dropped off flyers for a new rehab place in our area. I sighed as I knew she was well on her way to her new home and that in reality, dropping thousands more for someone facility to deal with didnt really make sense for me. What I am saying is, lots of people rehab on their own and as I'm sure you've learned from Andrea and Gogo, it just takes A LOT of time. Conservative is ALWAYS better. If my horse had her injuries and was messing around in what little turnout she had, I would pull the plug on it. It is now not just that leg you need to worry about, it's everything else that is weak and prone to injury too since she's been on rest. I mean, go with what your vet and your gut say of course though...you guys know your horse best!!!Nicku Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07006911603623063201noreply@blogger.com
