Thanks... although I really don't consider them woes per se... not now anyway. Although when my boy injured himself I sure did. This was a year and a half ago that he injured himself. He now runs, plays, bucks, rears, and climbs all over his two pasture mates at the stable. Most people can't see much of anything wrong with him, even though I see it glaringly. Honestly, it gave me a chance to see how much heart and try he has in him.
As for the mare, I bought her knowing she had the injury and she was always intended to be a broodmare, but I loved her bloodlines. As it turns out, she may end up being riding sound... if never show sound.
