Glad to have played a small role among a group of dedicated professionals
My retired 18 year old TB mare Summer had a really rough winter season with a hoof issue causing her to rapidly lose 150kg over a week, yep, she was even worse than the first image. I have never seen her so thin or lame in her life (and I have owned her a decade & have witnessed a fractured leg + torn suspensory ligament).
I wanted to take the time to thank the professionals that helped me get her sorted.
Garrett Newton Farrier was our saving grace. He quickly rushed to our rescue with some corrective shoeing, care & advice. Seriously couldn’t have pulled her through without your help. I am eternally grateful
David Brown for his veterinary guidance.
Christine Brown for having her on your glorious property, it truely is the dream life for retirees.
Samantha Boorman & Chantelle Prosser for feeding, loving & medicating her everyday when I couldn’t get there
Lenny Dixon for taking care of her dentistry.
We are still working through some residual things in her body from the ongoing lameness but she’s back to her happy, fat & paddock sound self.
If you have a good team of professionals behind you, please acknowledge your gratitude to them. The industry is hard enough as it is & no one seems to understand the time and effort that goes into it behind the scenes.
Here’s to everyone involved 🎉🧡
