  1. My horse has EMS. He developed laminitis, founder, and 2 absesses in th right front foot at 22 years of age. Now he has a digital flexor tendon injury in the same leg. This is the 2nd injury to the tendon.

  2. My mare has Cushings. She has had 3 abscesses but seems to hav thrush most of the time. Her hooves are looking rough. She is now 26. I hav her on Nutrena Safe Choice Special Care & a mineral salt.

  3. During the hot dry months his hoof walls deteriorate at the edge & up to the nail line. Very frustrating.
