Pedigree Query

This is to funny. Here it is 2 years later and I come across this long forgotten string. I only skimmed through it but here it is. No Pin firing for tendons and besides they do a cross fire not a pin when they do a tendon. I would most certainly agree that's not the thing to do for a tendon. Besides...

She is Red Roan although thoroughbreds are only described as roan. I stand corrected as too how the term is used from dam and sire lines but just the same she is none the less by Compliance, sire of Fourestardave and Fourstartallstar. Her dam is by Bold Arian as is Broadway Joan, dam of the two prev...

I knew Brian Long from many many years ago when he was riding in NJ. He was fun and personable. Rest in peace my friend.

Ok, back to the subject. Right this very moment in time, I am dealing with a set of bucked shins. This is a 4 year old and the problem began in October. I didn't pin fire nor did I blister him. As of today I am paying for not having done it. If you are racing or puting your horse under any type of s...

Remind me never to send my horse to your place. If you cant follow directions then you shouldnt have the buisness :wink: Let me ask you.... how many horses have you been around that bucked shins and was or wasnt pinfired? And if your dealing with a back farm Vet he might not like the idea of pin for...

Good product Lindros

I know that Gary Contessa who is stabled in NY was part of the study when Cornell did it. You might try writing to him. Don't know if he's in Fla at this moment tho. Check the entries to determine that. Then just write to the racing office (in care of Gary Contessa). Please let me know how it goes.

Everyone has there own opinion and I respect yours. With that said, I have 30 years in racing and have seen pin fireing 100's of times.Don't hesitate to do it. As for the bowed tendon, although it is the same treatment it's called cross fireing, and I would agree that it's barbaric. As for the scari...

It works very nicely. Follow the directions. This also comes in an oil form as well as a bran (hence it's name).

The microscopic surgery can be very effective and succesful. If it is still attached and not in a spot that hinders movement of the joint, this is a better thing and perhaps can be left in. Time off with a blister to promote faster healing is called for. If it's in an area of movement, you want to t...

Hi Meg,
Are you permitted to use it in Ohio? There are a few states that have already banded it. I haven't tried it, but in theory I think it might work.

This ones been sitting here a few days. Doesn't anyone know the answer? Pin Fire is usally used on bucked shins. It's also used on popped splints. I have also seen it done a few times to curbed hocks. Let me start by saying that some folks believe it to be barbaric, but we won't go there lets just s...

Micro-Vet...... have used it for years

Certainly you would want to regulate it. But other than a good visual, which isn't always accurate, it might be a good idea to repeat the test every 20 to 30 days. I have worked with four different vets with this problem and each one of them have mass experience with Horse. Yet nearly all are differ...

was there something you want to ask concerning the popped splint?
