Some disheartening news. Received a call from TBG earlier this week to let me know how Rose's weekend went. Usually TBG is good at breaking everything down and giving me a play by play of how their run went. I could tell he wasn't too happy by the way he was describing maneuvers. He went on to explain Rosie wasn't being herself this weekend. She was spooking at things she shouldn't have been including the in gate and other horses during warm ups and her spins (which are not her completely strongest point at this time) were really rough and he could tell something was bothering her. She's not exhibiting obvious lameness, there's nothing to see with the naked eye but he said she's hurting somewhere, somethings not right. He's got his Sports Medicine vet coming in from Georgia Sunday or Monday for full diagnostics. I'm going to see if we can't get the chiropractor in as well. Halie and I are traveling down Saturday morning to visit and to see what I can see or do for her.
I told TBG guy I hate that this is happening when we've all come so far but I'm completely ready to scratch her from the Futurity without a doubt.

Hopefully they can figure out what is causing her problem, solve it, and she will be heading to the futurity.

I'm sorry to hear this! Hopefully it turns out to be nothing serious and she can still go to the futurity and continue with her training. She's come such a long way!

Thinking positive thoughts for your beautiful mare. Hopefully she was just having an off-day like we all do sometimes.

Could a weather change be bugging her?
