Anyway, I've only dealt with old cranky lesson horse issues, and I know nothing about the young'uns (as much as I wish I did...). I'd say go check some of this stuff out. Doesn't seem too bad, really, but I'm sure the vet will be able to reassure you of that!Arallynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08572214675016974309noreply@blogger.com
