[QUOTE="Alan, post: 470847, member: 378"] Lots of different things can cause the swelling. My first guess is that if she isn't use to being in the stall without her pasture buddy, she may be pacing the stall all night and nervous. You might try to just feeding her seperate and then turn her back out. Or turn both horses in at night but still feed them seperate. Some horses with past work (not injuries) will just swell up in their legs and work it out. As far as the equestrian tem goes, my advice to yo is to make sure your horse is shape to handle the extra work, don't push her too hard. Work her every day and start her slow, When she gets into a wet sweat... wet, cool her out and do it again the next day. You can't expect her to run a mile after sitting on the couch for months. :D Also as she works harder her feed intake will go up, increase her grain and hay. Good luck and have fun. Alan [/QUOTE]
