i had just finished reading o'connor's chapter on packing and he mentioned the selway. i figured if it was good enough for him (and you), then it was good enough for the BSB forum!!

Pay no attention to thet foul mouthed BJ. Good to see you fellers back here. My best horse lamed hisself up (front knee). Had to be x-rayed. Got better with just some bute, then he did somethin' and is back to hobblin' around on three legs again. Don't know what he is doing. Need him sound for my july pack trip. Any suggestions besides watchin' him all day and night?
It's always yer best hoss that goes lame. Don't know why, but them poor stock never seem to go lame. Yer good dogs always get run over. The dogs you want to get run over never do... even old age won't kill 'em.

I would check for an abcess in his hoof above the sole. They sure are common this time of year. Usually the horse won't put no weight on that foot at all. If it's just gimpy, it's probably a sprain, got kicked or bruised or stone bruise
