Whack and Roll Posts: 6342 Location: NE Texas	They would allow me to hand walk her, but she was too rank, so I left her in the stall. Did a secong MRI to be sure everything looked good before putting her back to work, and the started off REALLY slow in doing so. And didnt' turn her out all at once. Started with a little turnout and moved her back up to the bigger turnout gradually.
