    I had a lameness workup and xrays taken last week of my 20yr old mare to see if she can come back into work or is fit to retire. She's my 'one'.

    She had a year off as I was busy with another horse and she was slowing down with intermittent problems. It hadn't done her any favours, so I thought her time was up.

    She can be unlevel on the odd day and I've done everything I can as far as supplements/management and diet etc

    Well she worked up sound and flexed sound (that in itself was really unexpected!) and her xrays were all clean as a whistle! I'm over the moon and hoping that I can start bringing her back into work. Even if she can't, it looks good that she'll be around for some time yet.

    In the past two weeks I have not only been jumping, but have been jumping two horses I never dreamed I would be able to do it on. :)

    I love this thread!

    In a week where I really really needed some sort of a win, I sat up on my new mare last night and for the first time since I bought her 3 weeks ago she took off on the correct lead every time I asked for canter on either rein and didn't do her usual impression of a giraffe on speed! We didn't have a single disagreement for the whole session.

    Such a little thing but she made my week! :o
