... I've dealt with more, cribbing, colic, and pure out and out horse-headedness, like being crowded and leaned on against a wall than I care to remember. I used to be a western trail rider, I never rode the quality of horses my sister did. Horses can be so loving and then so contrary a minute later. Still love looking at them, but I don't ride anymore. My sister is leaving law and has been certified for horse therapy for children now that she's in her early sixties.

Good luck, you sure seem intent on good treatment for your string!
