Update on my Mare

[Lotty]

I'm not sure if you can remember my desperate posts about my mare, she was diagnosed with laminitis at the end of March and for a while it was touch and go. My vet was worried as she's such a big boned girl - 16.1hh half warmblood x quarter shire x quarter TB, all this extra weight on her front feet.

Well for the past 2 weeks I have been able to gently walk her for a few minutes then let her have a few mouthfuls of grass after being stable bound for over 4 months. The vet said I could let her loose in the outdoor school today and she loved it. It brought tears to my eyes as I never thought I would see this day.

Sounds like you've both had a tough time. Hope she continues to progress healthily xx

That's great news, sounds like she is well on the mend. My girl had fat laminitis in May '08, slight rotation in both fronts. She had box rest all Summer, then I started riding her about November and she came sound! All the best.
