News about Zin Fire
We have now been to the vet with Zin Fire and the investigation showed nothing but that he is healthy and in good shape. This news is of course very nice to receive but at the same time it means that the reason for the unwanted result in competition is somewhere else. Now that I can rule out that there is nothing clinically wrong with him, I can imagine where the training has failed.
So what has to be done now is to start over. Change the training and go down in level. It is not a very good situation we are in to make a comeback. But we are early in it and still have hope that it can work. The future will tell.
I would like to say thanks for all the support we have received from you my horsey friends! It is really appreciated and not taken for granted. Thank you very much!

Set backs are always difficult! When I zoom in on the pic, I notice the feet look a little rough. And the right front appears dished. Photos are always hard to truly decipher from but the feet can have a big impact on a horse’s comfort. I don’t know if it is possible to transition to barefoot, improve the feet and possibly use synthetic shoes for a while? Just a thought. Best wishes.
He may prefer to be a dressage horse…
Or a western Equitation horse…
Just because he can jump does not mean indicate he likes it or the pressure..
You are great at trying different things ,perhaps doing WESTERN EQUITATION
WOULD BE a fun thing to do ….
I have been an outrider for many years at the racetrack thoroughbreds and harness and my men are great but there comes a day where they just don’t want to do it anymore. So now we go trail riding. But you are responsible, extremely responsible and you will make the right decisions. I love your stories and thank you for sharing. All the best
You can alwas give him away to your neighbour….
It is frustrating!!! I have horses that have problems and the vets are worthless!! Obe of my horses has muscle wasting in the hind quarters!! Vet says for him to eat more!! From noodling around on the internet I found the likely problem had to do with an infection he got while being castrated!!
You will find the answer!!!
