      Hello MB,
      Concerning uploading images this is being worked on and should be in place in a few days. Testing the various programs has shown some problems that we have to iron out first.
      Concerning your problem you describe the condition sounds very much like the one in the abstract above.

      Thank you and I did reread the good article. Mainly bc it is the front, only one..is the reason for checking again. Still no lameness, he is at a trainer working on collected canters, so really being light on front end. He is a big horse..and is hanging in a big stall with nice long sandy run. He is 16′ half friesian 10 yo. I will be picking him up Friday, and he will return to his life in pasture and trailriding. I guess I could ask if hose therapy or? Would be of any benefit?

      Sincerely,

      My pic exceed file size 512mb

      Hi MB,
      We restrict the size for three reasons. First we only have a limited amount of hard disk size and the typical phone will take a photo around 4 mb. It does not take too many files that size to fill up a disk. Second both upload and download time are important to users that have less than a very fast internet connection. Which leads to the third reason. At times everyone accesses us through their mobile devices. Reducing file size avoids using members limited and sometimes expensive download limits.

      We chose 512 kb because given the limitations of the internet and your browser to display images you can get excellent resolution at this file size. Proper file sizing works best when done in a particular way. Here is the order in which you should downsize a file’s size:

      1) Crop unnecessary areas of the image.
      2) Reduce the width of the image to 500 px (the appx. width of the column in which the image is displayed) or less while maintaining the aspect ratio.
      3) Compress the image information.

      Often just step 2 will get you under the file size limits. Most personal computer operating systems have software (Microsoft Paint) to accomplish these steps but there are also free online software (GIMP) and websites (Pixler) that offer these services.
