Going to get to the bottom of this. Thanks to those of you who have legitimately tried to help without getting crabby or talking about me behind my back. To the rest of you - have fun acting like 3rd graders. Glad I could give you something to talk about amongst yourselves. Glad that you are taking Chance so hopefully you can find out what the heck is going on with him  , how far away is this Lameness Locator from you?

It takes me that long to get to my regular vet. The joys of living in the middle of no where. Keep us posted on what you find. |

I may or may not post on here again. Seems my posts on here aren't well-received by some and I'd really prefer not to be discussed by a select few behind my back. If you are that curious, shoot me a PM or send me a facebook request, and I will be happy to share the results. Hopefully we don't have any crazy things pop up between now & then - I came home yesterday and found him missing a front shoe because he caught it on the fence trying to reach grass on the other side - and we can get some answers. |

Its just because youre a mere peon in the barrel racing industry and the elite of the elite are posting on here! You know the best trainers and riders are always posting on the internet instead of training and riding.... |

Good luck, I still suggest taking a copy of his file, X-rays ultrasound and bloodwork. This way if needed the vet can compare and see if there are any changes to the affected area.
One other thing I do after my vet has given me the all clear is I do get my horses adjusted as if they have been compensating, they have more of a tendency to become misaligned.
If people are making comments behind your back, shame on them, keep your chin up, you have a wonderful horse and you are doing everything you can. A horse with a big heart makes it difficult to detect there is something wrong.
Again I wish you luck you find the issue |

Really???? It always amazes me that someone will post their LIFE on a public forum of over a couple thousand online (at any given time) and then get p*ffed if their problem is discussed on other forums......
Additionally, Itsme........let's throw your name and CREDENTIALS out there and compare to those who have posted in this thread and we will see just who are the trainers and winners and who is the sh*t pot stirrer......... |

I don't mind being discussed but I'd like to be part of the discussion. From some things I've heard, the discussion is going on somewhere that I can't access and it doesn't sound like people are being very helpful there. It sounds like more of a bashing behind my back. However, I know my situation and I know I'm doing what I can, whether that is not running him (which I haven't hardly at all this year) or going to a different vet. He's been to 3 different ones this year and I know I've spent well over $1000 on him already just in performance-related vet bills, so believe me, an effort has been made/is being made.
Cheryl, I do plan on taking all his vet records from Eureka and the little bit of stuff I have from McCrady who did his SI injections. We haven't ultrasounded anything or pulled any blood recently, but I do plan on getting him adjusted again after we fix whatever else needs fixed. I need to call my regular vet and see when the chiro vet will be there again because I'd like to get my others adjusted too.
Three 4 Luck --- Oh I must be doing something right if I'm interesting enough to be talked about so much.

Sorry, im not posting my info so you can internet stalk me.
BTW im not a trainer or a winner at barrel racing, just surrounding my daughter with those that are and they are assisting her on training her own colt! And its kind of funny, the successful racers I know dont say a bad word about others... |

Like I said earlier, I'm glad I am so interesting that people want to talk about me. What is the saying - there's no such thing as bad publicity? lol.
I'm going to find the answers on Chance, I have no doubt. My next (and actually more pressing) question is who the heck am I running in his spot at state NBHA in 2 weeks? lol. I've got a couple options so either Joker or Streak better step up the next week or so and claim that spot. :) |

I'm not sure why Sangria got a dislike for her post but I was wondering basically the same thing. Can't you vet out? |

Exactly!!! It's a freaking D race....and usually even started horses should be able to run w/in 2 seconds or so. If nothing else, it can be good experience for her new horse and he may surprise her. If you've already paid the fees, why NOT go if you have another horse to run??? |

I already paid the fees the last time we thought he was fixed. My options are to (1) sell the spot (and gosh what a pain that will be), (2) sub another horse in (and I have 2 to choose from) or (3) figure out the vet out rules and do that by Monday (but what fun is it to go and only run one horse when you're used to running 2 or 3).
I entered Chance and Clifford. Joker doesn't usually do well in that arena and it would be at least 2 but probably 3 runs in a weekend, which seems to be a lot for his old body. If Streak can keep progressing the next week & a half, I think he's my better option to make several runs in a weekend. He's not the type to look around or be silly, and it is a 4D. I think the only time I entered him (super small jackpot) he was 3 seconds off Matt's mare (2D time) and we didn't have a great trip through the pattern. He was kind of unprepared for me to ask him to actually run a little between barrels. But at state, if we can just make the finals, a lot of times most of the 4D times get a check.
Divisional races are a crapshoot unless you can go win them outright and not that many people have the horse to do that. It sucks to go without Chance because he's has won a round there the last two years and won a 1D check on every run but I don't have a choice this time. |
