Brandy's lameness is really only apparent when the ground is frozen. the vet out to look at her and she has some arthritis above her hooves in the front. On days where it is rough out, her lameness if definitely apparent but on days where there is snow to walk on or the ground is not frozen, then she is fine. The vet said the rest of her joints are all in really good shape so this seems like something that can be corrected or worked with. She just has days where she is sore. The vet did not say to restrict her action or anything like that. Brandy continues to thrive with the day campers who come to the ASAP farm.  She is walking better than ever now, without shoes. She is aided by a wonderful farrier who believes in natural hoof trimming and has helped her to the point where she no longer needs shoes. She is happy and the pinned ears and open mouth have all but disappeared.  We are proud to say Brandy is very happy at ASAP but the right person could win her over - come and see if you are the one!  Brandy is being ridden on a regular basis with a hackamore and goes both bareback and under Western saddle.  She has never offered to buck, rear, or do anything and is a perfect riding horse
