I almost dare not hope, but could the worst finally be behind us?

This morning when I went outside the horses were back by the creek. I whistled them in and BOTH of them came to me at a thundering gallop! I looked at Racer like he had lost his mind, and after they were fed I sat on the fence and watched him walk the pasture with Trav with NO trace of a limp, no shaky limbs! I didn't want to manuever in the mud so I didn't check the pulses of the legs but I will later after this ice fog has lifted.

I hope this is truly over, and not just his way of feeling spirited in the foggy cold morning

Received Dr. Ramey book today The Concise Guide to Laminitis in the Horse- started reading it and could barely put it down.

Racer continues to get his holistic mixture three times a day. I have taken him completely off Bute weaning him off it slowly.
