Hi Dawn,
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience. Keeping a written and/or visual recording of Apollo's symptoms, treatment, etc is a great idea.  I've asked ECIR volunteers for list of their "ideal" testing routines so I can set up a schedule that provides needed information yet affordable vet bills.  Unfortunately, there's nothing I can think of to eliminate to help save money other than trimming his hooves myself.  Apollo gets just recommended supplements. We own the property he lives on. My husband and I already live a minimalist lifestyle except of course for having horses!  Things often have a way of working themselves out so I'm optimistic we'll find a way.
