Racer is holding steady and doing good. (furiously knocking on wood here). I have him on a purely holistic dry feed now, he has been off the witches brew for about a month and shows no signs of actute founder. He is still blowing abscesses about 4 a week- but here is a current picture of him, taken just tonight-

I mean no disrespect by calling the concoction he was getting witches brew. It literally saved his life! Mike called it that the first time I mixed it up because it bubbled a bit.


Thanks for all your prayers and good wishes to his recovery. Again, you all kept me relatively sane through this- The battle is not over, but right now it looks like we are winning the war!

Thanks All- now if I can just get him to drop some more weight on his belly and lose that darn crest in his neck, I might be able to breathe easier.

MA, I'm so glad that you and Racer are over the worst. He is a beautiful boy, inside and out and has done so well with your constant care and attention. Here's hoping he continues on the road to recovery.

He looks good!
Horses are very hard to take care of, and you are doing such a great job! My parents had two and didn't know how to take care of them the right way and finally had to sell them. I want to raise some one day when we buy a ranch...I hope all keeps getting better MA!

I didn't notice the crest in his neck until you mentioned it. What does that come from?

I sure am glad to see him looking so healthy! Woo Hoo!
