There is no need to be condescending HH. I was just putting in my own opinion. My horse does not have hock sores at the moment, as the ground is soft and muddy right now so there is nothign to bring them on. Therefore, they are not affecting my horses runs. My horse is not yet in complete shape yet and he had 3 runs that day which was askign alot. I don't blame him for not running his hardest nor do I expect him to.

He is not a fast horse. He is a 3D horse and I am happy with that, he will never run like a 1D horse.

Anyways, jsut thought I would explain myself as we have always seen fairly eye to eye on issues...
