2nd Opinion?
I had my horse diagnosed by a specialist through x-rays, ultrasound, lameness locator and a nerve block. Her injury is significant and could be career ending. She's on stall rest and her treatment for now is blistering - then a re-check in 5 months. I feel I'm just not doing enough - that maybe ther...

Re: Pension has been applied for
I may be retiring by 62 and I too worry about healthcare. It could be a huge burden on my retirement income/savings and with 2 horses my monthly costs are pretty high as it is. Since I'm part owner of a business, we would sell the business and I would be without a job, whether it's full or part-time...
