right. imo more of a head issue than a knee issue. she's still fairly green, isn't she? i know she ran once at two, and then quite a bit of time off this year. at any rate, hope for a fast track for next time, maybe you'll get a better accounting from her.

I hate to make excuses for her but here I go. Of her six starts, one was a very tough 52K MSW...one was after surgery and a long layoff...KD is a quirky track without knee high grass and very soft turf(you had to see it to believe it)and Wednesday's slop was a first for her. I like to see her catch a fast dirt strip before we give up on her. After all...experience wise she's still a two yr. old.

More knee chips. still very sore. Considering options but further racing may be too risky.

Poor Aldebutante - turns out she really was protecting her knees. I wish her a speedy and pain free recovery to her next career, whatever it will be. I just wish she could have caught at least one break in her brief career as a racehorse.

Do knee chips cause broodmare weight-bearing problems? If so, how?? I can understand how problematic they are for a runner, but for a broodmare, I don't quite grasp the issue they might cause. Please explain....

I've heard that bone chips often eventually cause soreness or arthritis if they aren't removed. If they move around it can cause more damage.
But then I'm not a vet. At least it's certainly not life threatening.

I dont think she will have any issues being a broodmare in the near future especially since she wouldnt be bred till Spring and wouldn't start adding weight for awhile. Maybe as she ages arthritis will become an issue but sometimes it doesnt. The question is should she be bred and on what terms?
