But... Ten days prior to us collecting her in Idaho, Blackberry ran through a wire fence in and cut her left-rear knee at the worst possible place. The X-Rays below were taken at the end of October and demonstrate no injury in the bone structure, but a large and permanent area of scar tissue which can not be remedied. Dr. Gayle Cummings of Tanglefoot Veterinary Services Ltd. (25O 489 1655) diagnosed her and declared after further consultation with Alberta equine surgeons that Blackberry will be functionally lame. Functional lameness in her case is a lameness that results from the inconvenience and reduced flexibility of the scar tissue area. She has no pain, but it hinders her.

Blackberry's remaining potential is as follows:

Broodmare (Tobiano, single gene: Paint stallion gives high probability of a paint; Single color stallion gives 50/50 change of a paint;

Easy, non-performance, pleasure riding.

She has a pleasant and highly relational personality and has had all the initial starting. Including over 30 ground excercises, desensitizing classes, saddling, bridling and trailer loading.
