Commissioned has been demonstrating some shin soreness since his recent work and gate schooling. This is nothing major, nor uncommon with 2-year-olds, though it is a little less common with horses who have already gone through a 2-year-old in training sale like Commissioned. He is jogging sound and not showing any lameness, but the shin soreness is evident when palpated during routine physical exams. We will simply have to back off from speed work for a bit and keep him jogging daily until he’s ready to pick up the pace again.
