The Resident Destroyer of Liberal Logic Location: PNW	My gelding REALLY bruised his upper pastern joint and is coming up on his last (hopefully) scans before he gets cleared to start rehab/legging up. I have been tossing around the idea of sending him to an aquatread center for this reason: it would allow his body to start working again without putting stress on his bones, and maybe giving them even more time to ease back into it. I KNOW the Aquatread does not build bone density like regular riding. He is going to have MONTHS of working up ahead of him, we will build the density eventually. I am just thinking an Aquatread might be a good transition exercise from stall work -----> work.

I usually do not go to the hospital for just anything, I have to be dying to go to a doctor, literally.... I laid on the ground, rolled around when this colt kicked me, I actually thought he broke my arm. Loaded up went to hospital, nothing was broke.....bad bone bruise.....the dang thing still hurts!!! Hope your horse is not as bad as my arm....
