Here is Lacey, my new horse! She is very sweet and well-trained. I got her a couple weeks ago, but wasn't able to ride her but once as we noticed that she had a funny gait-almost like a limp-with one of her back legs. We had the vet out on Friday, and she informed us that Lacey had 'string halt', which occurs sometimes when a horse hurts their leg & tendon. She reassured us that I could still ride her & that it shouldn't get worse! I was so grateful!! I am now riding her almost daily & really enjoying it. She is a little spirited, but I can still control her easily. It is so nice not to have to worry about her doing anything crazy. I have taken her on the road a couple of times and down our railroad tracks.
