Before you get ready to go to all of the clinics, horse shows, trail rides and various types of horse competitions, you may want to check out this handy 15-point trailer inspection checklist: - Check your trailer tires for any dry rot or cracking and worn out treads. You should always inflate your tires to the specifications indicated on the sidewall of the tire. There is always a chance of having a flat tire, but doing a little preventive work is always a good idea.
- Make sure your jack is working properly. In the event you DO have a flat tire or need the jack, it is best to have it working easily so you are not struggling with a jammed up jack during an emergency.

He had bone chips and also damage to the sac that holds the cushioning fluid in the knee joint itself.Dr. Troy Ford, D.V.M. performed groundbreaking surgery on Be A Bono and used the horse's own body fat to glean his stem cells. The cells were then injected during surgery back into the horse's joint in a concentration more powerful than the body could provide normally. The stem cells regenerated the cartilage and damaged bone in the right knee of the sprinter. In an interview during ABC's Nightline News, Be A Bono's trainer, Dan Franciso provided his views on the groundbreaking surgery and the use of stem cells. Remember, these stem cells were from the horse's OWN BODY. After this surgery, Be A Bono went back to racing and has since earned 1.25 million dollars in prize money! Without the surgery, his career would have surely ended as a racehorse, even though it was not life threatening. Vet-Stem's CEO and founder Robert Harman says that over 3,000 horses, many with joint problems, have been treated with stem cell surgery. Click here to view the clip on ABC News with Martin Bashir talking about Vet-Stem Regenerative Veterinary Medicine.

The animals are experiencing rapid results which gives hope to owners with beloved pets that previously had no such chance as this. Index for Pennsylvania
