Question
Ed,
This is a follow-up question. What are the reasons  problems in stifle or hock would cause him not to change leads?

Answer
hi deb   well if he is off behind, then he would not want to change leads, as it would make him very uncomfortable doing so. i have had many horses in the same predicament. have your vet check the horse our for back end problems. a physic can also read your horse and find out problems that no one else can find. they have to come to the horse so they can read the horse.  hope this helps you  thanks ED HESS

Have trained thoroughbreds for 30 odd years. Have been a licensed trainer for that long of time. I continue to train my race horses and thoroughly enjoy every day.

Experience


Experience: Licensed trainer for over 30 yrs. Have had lots of winners in all different types of races - from bottom claimers to top quality stakes winners. My best money winner was Aristocratic Cross (multiple stakes winner). My best claiming horse was Navajo Family, winner of 12 races in one year. I still enjoy racing a modest stable of horses each year.
