how in hell do they do an MRI on a horse? I assume they knock them out?

Question----is this the type of injury that would have been able to have been known by the connections before they sold a piece or would have been known by the guy who bought it?

This comes off as a conspiracy theory but when it happens twice it is worth asking....they sell a piece of SB, out for months. they sell a piece of IWR, out for months....thoughts?

i dobut it. when you look over a horse you generally don't do MRI's I wouldn't believe.

only him coming up somewhat lame tipped them off.

First of all... Niko..."nice catch by Mullins"...I think everyone at the barn would have caught this...the horse was walking slightly lame...plus, you can bet it was IWR's groom that first found that heat...

anyway...I still think he injured that ankle when he got casted in his stall...with all the scrapes he has, you can bet he struggled pretty good before they pulled him off that stall wall...that's my theory.
I only hope the MRI won't show any more problems and he'll be back soon.
