It's definitely going to be an adventure.
My current horse, Foxie, is retired from her lower level eventing career due to Digital Suspensory Ligament Dermatitis, and while she will always be my heart-of-hearts and my Miracle Pony, she deserves a retirement fit for the queen she is. I'm hoping she will become my mother's trail horse, when she's not being the coolest "lame" horse in the history of ever.

History: Foxie raced from 2-3, and spent her 3-4 year banned from the track as she bled during a race. She raced, more unsuccessfully, for another year before being retired. She was bought, bred, and gave birth to a small bay TB mare named Chloe (Game Over) who is currently a Hunter. Foxie was then abandoned, met an abusive leasee and then found her way to me at the age of 9. I leased her for a year, and purchased her in the Spring of 2007, when I was a sophmore in high school. Foxie injured her Deep Digital Flexor tendon in the summer of 2008 and after a struggle, became sound enough to begin an eventing career. Foxie went to her first show back after her injury in the fall of 2010 and ran her first eventing season in 2011. In training for the rest of the 2012 season after her first Combined Trial, Foxie injured her left suspensory, an injury that triggered the DSLD. After a long summer of pain, treatments and hard decisions, Foxie miraculously recovered this fall (thus, the name "Miracle Pony") and is currently sound for flat work.
So... yeah.
