Racer was good today, he even ran out of the creek! He didn't run very far, but Trav (my other horse) spooked and went splashing through the creek and startled Racer who was halterless in the creek. So Race took off as well- not getting far until I yelled at him to stop. I have cut back his bute- and have found a healer who is working with me to get him back. Mike was so skeptical when I called this lady, but an animal communicator gave me back my horse long ago and so I am hopeful this one (who comes highly recommended) can do the same. Of course my vet is scoffing- but there are some things in the world that modern medicine cannot explain.
I am really sick though. Mike was doing creek therapy tonight, because I just couldn't handle it. I am coming down with a nasty cold. I also gave up on the online journal. I simply don't have time to figure out how to use the darn thing and apparently I am not using it right, so I have abandoned the idea. My mind is still clouded by stress right now.As I have been told by everyone who has fought this with their horses, you have good days, and then you have bad days. Next up in the sequence of events is apparently hoof abscesses as the poisons make its way out of Racer's system.

This is where the step out in faith occurs. Racer was read yesterday. The woman called me and wanted to meet with me (no charge in case you wondered) We went over there and she told me he has formaldyhdye and lead in his system from the vaccines I have given him over the years. He is close to kidney failure, he has EPM and something wrong with his CNS (central nervous system) similiar to encephalitis but not quite. She was very nice, has a beautiful home with tons of well-cared for horses. Mike was making skeptical jokes all the way over about how she probably wears a black hat that blocks the wart on her nose. I told Mike that I know there are some things in the universe that cannot be explained, and this is one of them. Had I not gone this way many years ago and had it work out great, I wouldn't even consider it now, but I feel in my gut this is the right thing. I have several bottles of *stuff* to give him. I have done the research about the contents and it is all homeopathic so nothing can hurt him.
When we got home, the phone rang and it was the healer. She said after we left, she did more work and she reached out to touch him. She told him she was on the team and he was relieved.
OK- before you call the crazy farm- this morning when I went out to greet him, he came out of his stall with a shrill whinny of greeting- his customary style, and walked over to the fence, placed his gorgeous head over the fence and into my arms for a hug! We dosed him with the stuff and he eagerly lapped it all up- you can't mix them have to give it to him separately with no food, and he didn't complain. She also has him on 9 capsules of MSM Arnica and Catsclaw. He is now way out in the pasture, his head is up and he and Trav are sparring with each other (biting and playing) which they used to do a lot.
Now this may just be one BIG coincidence, but I don't believe it is. I believe forces are at work here and I can't explain why. But treat him naturally versus chemically? You betcha, I will. If it turns out bad I have no one to blame but myself, but I have peace in my heart the first time for days about this- and that feeling is priceless. If some of you are thinking this woman is gouging us, I have been gouged before, and she is not that way.

MA, as long as it works, I don't think ANYONE should call it a mere coincidence, and even though I'm a natural skeptic myself, I'd probably try it myself if it were me and my animals! Hoping and praying that all continues to go well!
OMG Mary Anne. I hope the Homepathic(sp?) is working for you, it has helped one of my(was) dying kittens so wonderfully now he's the fattest in the litter, It's called Carbo Vegetalas, for anyone that's interested, it revives dead things.
I'm so glad Racer is getting better. I still continue to think about him every day.
Hugs.

Mary Anne - lets hope Racer keeps making a steady progress on the road to recovery.
There are stronger forces at work than medicine alone - sometimes it can take a combination of elements to successfully treat a problem that won't go away.

I trust you know what you are doing, and Racer knows you are giving this your all...I'm so glad to hear of his mood today! Reading about him just gives me sniffles remembering the one time I got to form a bond with a horse.
Re MSM Arnica, I didn't use that but Arnica Montana...wonderful stuff (with my vets approval) for post spay or post c/section, it has given my cats wonderful, blessed relief. I strongly believe in it.
take care, MA

YAY! the first step forward! Makes my heart leap with joy! I hope this woman becomes an asset to your team and helps Racer heal faster!
MA,I feel your peace, and it lifts and fills my heart. This sounds like something that cannot harm Racer, and has much potential for healing, as evidenced by his improved spirits and apparent eagerness to cooperate with treatment. So many things we cannot understand, and to try to do so is a waste of energy that you can use much more productively in other ways. Listen to your heart. I pray the progress continues.
I am so happy to hear Racer seems to be doing better! I hope this woman can continue to help him! I looked at the website for Racer's journal, it was so well written...I am sorry you had to give it up for now....but maybe you can pick it up later, and if not that is okay too.We are here for you, MaryAnne, and we love you and our prayers are with Racer!!!!
And also, I am sorry to hear you aren't feeling well...I was afraid this would happen, given the stress you are under and the weather outside when you are spending time with Racer....I am sending up prayers that you will get well very soon! **HUGS**

Wow, I am happy to hear he is doing better. I was just wondering about him. i hope his recovery continues.
Absolutely Amazing!
I'm so happy he's doing better MA! Now, please take a little time out for yourself, ok?

We had a bad day today, Racer is now confined to the stall, he has started walking out of his feet- that's what the vets call it when his coffin bone has slipped down. He has about 4 feet of soft bedding in his stall (recycled cardboard) and we have a load of sand coming in next week when the rain quits. This condition is maddening, you have really good days and then you have days where you just want to jump off the planet.
MA I was reading all of this with tears in my eyes
I am so sorry that you and Racer are going through this. I will continue to pray for both of you. Please take care of yourself.
I just wanted to say thank you MA for taking the time to answer my post the other night when the Sammycat got the Advantage in his mouth. You have so much more to worry about yet you took the time to answer this silly woman's cry for help. Take care of you and of Racer

Thanks I am trying.
I try to get on the boards but all day I am with him doing whatever I can and just being with him, as well as trying to keep his buddy Trav from becoming to jealous that Race is getting so much attention. The creek was scary this morning as he went down in it and I had a quick vision of him drowning, but we got him up and out of there. Everyone that I have talked to that has had a horse founder all tell me the same thing. It is a roller coaster of emotions and no one really knows how to effectively treat it which is why there are so many diffent camps out there about it. I've just decided to listen to him and take my cues from him, and right now, he wants to be still and rest.
