IE's Shins Four Days after the Breeze






This is 4 days after the breeze that Irish Eagle did at OBS. The legs show more response after two or three days. That is why I give the horses a day or two off after being ridden. Sometimes we don't know that they worked too hard. Their body tells us by these physical reactions.











If you expand this photo the protrusion is more apparent.















This angle gives a better view. The body is reacting to the stress of a tearing of the periostium sheath. As the bone rebuilds the leg becomes tighter and the bone stronger. Time to heal and turn out will be the solution.
If there is any doubt about leg I can xray in a few months.
