I have a Racer update

He got his shoes off today! The vet saw no abscesses, and no problems with his feet, so the farrier pulled his shoes. He stood nice and still and un-sedated during the process!

All I have to do now is put a combination of turpentine and iodine on the bottom of his feet to toughen them up. But he is finally barefoot once again!!!

MA that is wonderful!! I can't imagine how pleased you must be, and he must feel so much better! I'll hope everything continues in this positive direction further!!

That is just fantastic!!!!

WoooooHooooo!!!!!

YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!! I am soooo happy for Racer!

Great news and boy, I needed some!

YAY! That is absolutely wonderful news!

That's great news. Thanks for the update!

Oh, MA, what wonderful news!!

I'm sure glad your horse is better .

That's fantastic news! You must be so relieved, and Racer must be so happy to finally get those shoes off!

Thanks! He is a bit ouchy but doing well. The farrier said that he will be tender for a few days till his soles toughen up. He said it is like you wearing shoes for months on end and then one day going barefoot on gravel. Though thankfully our property does not have gravel except in designated spots.

My hubby is so wonderful, he traded a guy who makes this foam cushion type padding (like small packing bubbles) he traded him a custom knife set for 6 months supply of this special stall bedding. The padding is specifically for horses who founder. And it is high-end expensive as well.

That really was considerate of your husband! Sure hope Racer likes his new bedding!

Woo hoo! TwitNose (LOL) is doing so well, I'm so pleased.

OMG how exciding and great news about Racer . I was wondering how he was doing and did not want to ask . Hissy I am so happy for you and for Racer

You must be so relieved! I hope Racer continues on the road to full recovery.

That's fantastic MA! I'm so glad that Racer is doing better!
