An Unlucky Break

Ty's 2010 show season has come to an unfortunate and abrupt end. Somewhere in the last two weeks he managed to get a hairline fracture in his front right pastern. We noticed a slight swelling in his ankle and quickly sought medical attention. After a thorough vet check and exam, they've recommended 8 weeks of stall rest and then reevaluation at that time. They expect he'll make a full recovery, but unfortunately we won't be attending Regionals or East Coast this year which had been our ultimate goal. Ty seems to be ok with his current vacation status and break so we'll let him rest and make plans to return next year showing First Level.
