This beautiful bay filly has so much eye appeal, so you can imagine how frustrated and sad I was to see her stifle locking last September. Hand walking didn’t help so we X-rayed with a very reputable leg vet. He was confident her stifle is a symptom of her hock fusing. He says this is not a career ending diagnosis but she needed some time to grow past it. He recommended no alfalfa, and no work so that’s exactly what I did. She is currently on Platinum Performance CJ per his recommendation. I am seeing improvement so I think we are on the right track. She will be a good candidate for injections in her hock and/or blistering her stifle if it doesn’t heal on its own. She is quiet and good minded, but extremely sensitive and feely. This mare needs to go to someone with experience in reining horses. She is easy to catch in the field, has been trimmed regularly and has been turned out. Her dam had approximately $800 in earnings and has not had any progeny show. She had three foals before this one and two are in potential show homes. Chesney is 6 panel negative, and nominated to the NRHA. The cross of Spooks Gotta Whiz on a Magnum Chic Dream mare has produced some phenomenal athletes, this filly doesn't disappoint.
