Just wanted to give an update on my filly Star. She is three now and started under saddle. We had X-rays of her hocks this spring, and the vets at Washington State were very positive regarding her recovery after surgery. I am so thankful to have this beautiful young mare here, and I am so glad we had the surgery rather than choosing euthanasia. Thought it would be good to close up this line with the positive results--no lameness, no swelling, free movement. Thanks again to all that responded and also those who contacted me privately.

Excellent Nancy, and such a very pretty filly! Thanks you so much for keeping us appraised over the last 3 years. It will certainly help others make up their mind in similar situations.

Nancy, where are you located? You mentioned looking for surgeons in N.Cal and then you followed up with a post on check up at WSU. Who did the surgery? I am located in Eastern Washington. What are you going to use the filly for? EO

Our ranch is in Shady Cove, Oregon, about 25 miles northeast of Medford. My mistake on WSU. I meant to say Oregon State University. The operation to remove the joint mouse was performed at Rogue Equine Associates by surgeon Ashley A. Magee, assisted by my own vet, Dr. Ferguson. Locally the vets use OSU as their evaluative service. The second set of views was taken here at Rogue Equine and sent to Dr. Barbara Watrous at OSU for evaluation. Sorry for the confusion! Star is most likely going to be living in either Idaho or the Portland, area, and will hopefully develop into a top three day eventer.
