We are so glad that you have had success with the boots and ice water, plus finding a good knowledgeable Vet that could help you. We use very little grain and what we use is all organic non-GMO in our thoroughbred breeding farm. Our emphasis is on good quality grass and hay for which there is no substitute! A good mare is worth her weight in gold and our farm is blessed to have several. Fred and Joan.

When she was strong enough to move around I fitted her front feet with boots and with in two days she was walking without pain, two weeks later she could trot with out pain.Three months later I rode her for the first time and still enjoy her wonderful spirit…I never thought I would ever ride again when she was so sick, thanks to a great Vet and Boots.
