I got a call last night from the woman who got Foxi. She has a long conversation with her vet about the Grade 1 lameness. Vet told her horses do 50 and 100 mile Endurance rides with a Grade 1 lameness, and not to worry about it. She saw it, so she had to mention it, and if it were her horse, she would NOT x-ray her. She told the woman that she thought Foxi was the perfect horse for her, so quit worrying and enjoy her. So that is exactly what she is going to do. She told me she got freaked when she heard the lameness thing because of her history. She has a perfect horse (which will be part of Foxi's new herd when she turns them in together) who has narcolepsy or something - the horse just falls on its face and is not safe to ride. Then she had a foxtrotter who looked perfect, but had a paralyzed tail, and eventually paralyzed rear and had to be put down. So this woman did not want to get too emotionally attached to Foxi until she got the OK from her vet, who had been thru her ordeals with the other horses. I told her I had been a bit worried and overprotective of Foxi, and was ready to come get her and bring her home. So all is well, and I once again feel this is a perfect home for Foxi where she will be appreciated. She is also getting tons of attention form the grandchildren when they come over, and Foxi seems to love that! Since I don't have kids, I've never seen Foxi around kids. Foxi also seems to have gotten quite attached to a couple of goats there.
Whew - but I still don't want to sell any more horses - it is WAAAAY to tough emotionally!!!
