I think all of us who have followed you for some years are very fond of Jackson and so hoping he would get better some day. <br /><br />Thank you for your support during this difficult time in my life.

He's now sound as can be. We also ride in Renegades. So glad to her your horses are doing so well.lilyrosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11067723613133972938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4964477228579644195.post-86788200214556744852015-03-06T20:53:19.437-08:002015-03-06T20:53:19.437-08:00Great post Annette.

He remained barely pasture sound for about 2 years, and then he was fine. He went back to light work for another 3 years before we decided to retire him for real. <br /><br />Time and pasture turnout is definitely a great healer!jenjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01737679332792618499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4964477228579644195.post-72160157068041250322015-03-06T19:32:30.748-08:002015-03-06T19:32:30.748-08:00I'm 100% with you.

With a decade or so of working in the horse industry, I see quite often the difference in overall soundness between stabled horses, and horses allowed 24/7 pasture. <br />Leeshhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08504626914889252270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4964477228579644195.post-2007935788551960012015-03-06T16:29:56.550-08:002015-03-06T16:29:56.550-08:00There is actually a pretty strong argument that yo...There is actually a pretty strong argument that your success is not rest, but actually more time moving naturally.
