I see so much potential in Tornado and it just hasn't made sense that training him should be so difficult. He is kind and willing so why the explosions? Yesterday I learned why we have been having so many problems. Since the first day I got him home I had noticed an injury to his jaw area and I've been treating it ever since. I had the vet out to take a look and he believes Tornado has a serious problem. The vet suspects that it's an old jaw fracture that will require surgery. We will find out the exact cause next week with x-rays, but it's abscessed and appears that infection has set into the bone. I am so dissapointed, but at least now I know why my sweet horse has been so explosive. This has complicated things, but I still want to try to continue on the best we can.
