I posted a while ago about my sweet bay Irish mare Ellie, who came down with fat/lush pasture type laminitis in May. A number of people kindly offered advice, as I was worried about what it would mean if I rode her again for the first time and she wasn't right. Well, she was eventually shod last Wednesday and I finally-nervously- took her out for a gentle hack a short way down the road on Sunday- and she was sound! I tried a tiny trot just to check; and she felt fine! I am so relieved and surprised actually, so just wanted to post a good news laminitis message for a change as there have been such awful experiences posted this year. By the way, I am not going to rush things at all and I am still only letting her graze a small patch for 1/2 hr per day at the moment.
