Christine starting Shabaz!

First we rock Shabaz.  Get him use
to close contact, pressure and movement.

Then Christine bellly's over.  Holds it, then slowly brings her leg over while still laying forward.  Then slowly she raises up to a seated position.  A few steps are taken then the process is reversed to dismount.  Yeah!

Shantilly Foundered!

Equine laminitis is a vascular disease associated with areas of ischemia or hemostasis within the laminae. The laminae secure the coffin bone/distal phalanx to the hoof wall. Inflammation associated with delamination interferes with the wall/bone bond. In advanced laminitis, the coffin bone becomes detached from the horny wall and may rotate or sink. In lay terms, this is known as “founder,” from the maritime term meaning to sink.

Any Old Boards or Tin Roofing Material Laying Around?

R&R could certainly use some 4x4's or 4x6"s 10-12 feet long
and some tin roofing to fix and expand some winter shelter
for the horses.
Thanks for your help!
