Too many is good this time

Stella: Training Update

Shay has struggled with periodic bouts of lameness over the years. Recently, it went on long enough that we called out Dr. Fleck, from the Rainland Farm Equine Clinic, for an evaluation. He reviewed earlier x‑rays of Shay’s rotated coffin bone and thought she just…
