A Challenging 24 hours....

Its been an interesting 24 hours!  Last night when we went out to do last check, our little girl Beauty was in quite the state.  She was rolling around and kicking her tummy.  We decided to treat her for colic, both traditionally and homeopathically.  It was a long night, but I'm pleased to say she came through ok.  This morning when I went out, she was curled up sleeping with Truffles and Buddy standing watch over her.  She was completely exhausted after her ordeal.  The vet recommended rest for her and tonight she will come into the barn with Buddy. 

When these things happen, its always a stark reminder of how fragile life can be.  I cannot imagine not having Beauty in our life and it makes me appreciate her even more.  I will never forget when she arrived at BMM and lay right down because she was in too much pain to walk.  Our amazing farriers came out and they worked on her while she was lying down.  After, Beauty was able to stand and she turned and thanked Larry.  Beauty has been under the care of Larry and Julie for 18 months now and I'm pleased to report there have been no further laminitic flare ups:)

Larry and Julie put special pack on Beauty's feet and then

made her a styrofoam boot.

Buddy and Beauty thank Larry for his help:)
