Founder and Laminitis--the Barefoot Trim Saves Mare

The barefoot world is able to rehab what was once thought to be lost causes. Lack of understanding and egos are often more of a challenge than the rehab! I have a Caudal Hoof Pain ("navicular") case in mind...No doubt horse will be put down before the summer. I asked the Universe for help and am now waiting. Any angels out there?
Extreme Founder Rehab - What You See Is Not Necessarily What You Get

Many suggested to put this mare down, but no-one really knows what's possible unless you give it a thorough try using unconventional methods when traditional methods failed.

This mare suffered from years of chronic laminitis and founder. Various traditional shoeing solution were tried without much success because the underlying causes were not correctly addressed (diet and bad trimming)

When I first saw pictures of this mare I really wanted to rehab her, but did not have the funds to do so. Twist of fate intervened - the mare was taken by a client of mine who was fully committed on getting her well. 10 months into the barefoot rehab the mare was sound.

Never give up because of what traditional thinking is telling you (even if it comes from a vet) as it may be outdated and no longer valid! (From Dawn our Barefoot Expert)
