From Megan:
Hello everyone–sorry I’m not as good at keeping up with posts here as I should be. I wanted to share a quick update on Sasha. She had about a year off and back in September we started into work. Once we got back to full work in December (including cantering) she started to have issues again and is lame again. We did an ultrasound and began consultation with a surgeon for her rt hind suspensory. She will be heading to WSU soon for an MRI and possibly surgery (if the MRI shows she’s a good candidate for it). Hopefully this will help her to fully recover and become what she was meant to be–a real champion.
Sasha is set to go to WSU on March 14th–please think of her as we drive her there and she stays for two weeks for her MRI, surgery, and rehab.
Sasha did not need surgery after all (yay!). Her MRI showed inflammation, so she received an injection mixture of adequan, quick-acting, and long-acting cortisone. She is doing very well and her canter transitions are much smoother and quicker. She also “floats” at the trot. Very nice mover!
