Emergency call out today to a foot sore pony and me with a back that bad I could barely walk.
Looked like the onset of founder/laminitis and with a little off the heels and a rol on the toes eased her situation.
While there rick related the story of Ella's amazing recovery from a double barrel kick to her head that fractured her skull and caused a stroke and to see her now aftera 2 year recovery is amazing.
Like I say the Equine Ungulate has an amazing ability to recover from some shocking woundss

DJI Phantom 3P Test flights for banner tow. A little more refinement on the quick release and perhaps a weight to allow horizontal tow?
Then onto the ashes box!

Beautiful Bart the little mini pony Battler no more hoof trims.
One of the greatest problems for horses is that they are so stoic which is a survival attribute but works to the detriment of them in captivity far too often.
Many people are unaware of the trauma these animals can experience without outwardly showing signs of their ailments which leads to deteriorated health and function and ultimately their demise. Subsequently many suffer in silence for years
This is a video I would have preferred not to make and I found it very difficult to do so but perhaps it may make some people aware of what horses may have to endure while looking quite contented in the field.
I was going to have included his euthanasia which was chemical, an OD of anaesthetic so that people could see what I believe is the easiest way for most to pass on. When this is done precisely the animal has died before it hits the ground but like all procedures if it does not go off smoothly it can be hard on all concerned. There are videos of this procedure on youtube that show the way it is done
Bart waa suffering a myriad of maladies now he has
No more Cushings
No more founder
No more laminitis
No more tooth spurs
No more carcinoma
No more abscesses
No more stilts disease
No more loneliness
No more pain
It has been my experience that while you can save a foundered horse it is rare that they will ever be able to perform again as previously. Some people may shoe them to force them to continue in work but that is only to the detriment of the animal.
