Hi Tori-- I hope you will post more pictures of Orion's feet after your trims. I have been struggling with my pony Cory's feet for over a year now. I am too timid in my toe backing and it has really h

Corrine, I am gob-smacked by your ability to keep trying every suggestion. I know you are exhausted, but you don't give up and that is so inspirational. I also hope Jasper improves quickly and you and

Hi Nancy and Lavinia-- Thank you so much for the encouragement. I really needed it. Nancy, please don't think I am giving up on Cory. It would be impossible to do with him still so engaged in life. He

Hi all-- I got Cory's bloodwork results and I am very discouraged. His ACTH has gone up to 87 since October (when it was 50). He has been on 9 mgs of Pergolide and I thought surely with the seasonal r
