Life With a Laminitic Racehorse

Lost in the Echo — better known as Wonky — is a gentle, quiet 4-year-old gelding with only two race starts, but a story far bigger than his form guide. From the beginning, we were determined that something just wasn’t quite right. Continuous abscesses, rain scald, mud fever, runny poo, weight loss and toe tapping kept returning, no matter how carefully he was managed.

So we dug deeper.

Piece by piece, the puzzle formed — initially we thought copper and zinc deficiencies were impacting his skin, immune system and hooves, and eventually led us to the real answer earlier this year: laminitis.

Since then, Wonky’s life has become about rebuilding — strength, comfort, trust, and body condition. Twice a day he enjoys Lucerne chaff, Alfalfa Plus, cracked lupins, Perfect Mash, copra, salt, and carefully chosen supports: DigeOsteo for bone and gut health, ArthrSyn for inflammation and joints, clivers for skin and lymphatics, rosehips for immunity, and brewers yeast for digestive balance. Along with 24/7 grass hay and a Lucerne biscuit, he is steadily building weight and wellness, one quiet day at a time.

His journey reminds us that good horsemanship isn’t just training — it’s listening, questioning, investigating, and never giving up on the horse in front of you.

His race career is just getting started. ❤️
