Elite Veteran Posts: 733	Sorry guess I should have given better specifics. She is a mild bleeder, that being said she gets ran on lasix plus other stuff and she is not bleeding when this happens. Also during the summer when I am running a lot she gets monthly lameness exams, it is not a physical thing. I try whipping her but it is a toss up if I whip she ducks off soon, if I stay two handed and kick her she runs strait longer but she doesn't run as hard.
