Isn't it awful...

She is a bonny mare, and relatively local to me. Am I the only one seeing pain in her eye in the close-up photo??? She's got an expression uncannily like my mum's late mare who suffered from laminitis, not that I'm saying this mare has lami!
 
Poor horse :(

Buzz's previous owner had a horse who wasn't sound enough to be ridden and he was only young. 7 I think. Vet reckoned he'd been worked too much too young (before she got him) and the result was ringbone. Sound as a pound in the field but couldn't cope with ridden work. Sad.
