My Story:

I have a 26 year old Thoroughbred gelding named Southern Gentleman (aka Teddy), that has been with me for almost 17 years now. About 3 years ago, his neck started looking a little cresty. The vet was coming out in a couple of weeks for spring shots and he was in otherwise excellent health so I did not make a special appointment. After her examination, she recommended that we draw blood for an ACTH level test as she suspected he was developing insulin resistance, most likely coupled with Cushings disease, which is common in older horses. To my great dismay, the test came back with very high levels of the ACTH hormone. I was devastated. I knew that insulin resistance horses are more susceptible to laminitis and founder, and for me, it was my worst nightmare.

I have seen firsthand the effects of this horrible disease, thankfully never in a horse of my own. When you combine an uninformed horse owner who loves their horse, with a disreputable veterinarian, the result for the horse can be catastrophic. I watched a wonderful Arabian stallion progress from mild laminitis to full blown founder to the point where the coffin bone punched through the bottom of the hoof and the horses hooves were literally being held on with duct-tape. The vet convinced the owners (while charging exorbitant amounts of money daily), that the horse was a fighter and not ready to give up so they should not give up on him. He suffered horribly well beyond the point where he should have been humanely euthanized and in the end died one of the most ghastly deaths I could have imagined for a beloved animal.

I have since seen other cases where the horse was properly treated and recovered, but to see a horse in that kind of pain is not a scenario that I want to experience in my barn or in my life. So, when I got Teddy’s diagnosis, I went on a mission to learn everything I could about Insulin Resistance, Cushings, and Laminitis. When it comes to IR, carbohydrates (sugars) are a major issue. As it turns out, my senior horse was on the worst possible feed for a horse in his condition, it had the highest level of non-structural carbohydrates of any feed on the market at the time! I switched him to a new feed and luckily, the diet change alone brought his ACTH level down and got rid of his cresty neck.

Founder and Laminitis Exposed, an e-book by Zoe Dodds

If you are like me, and have a horse that has foundered or is prone to bouts of laminitis, such as horses with insulin resistance or cushings syndrome, then this is one of the times of year that you start searching the internet for the latest info and products available. You want to be ready, and sure you are up to date on the current veterinary advances and thinking. There are plenty of articles that focus on one aspect or another of founder and laminits, and there are veterinary books that may devote a page or two or maybe a full chapter.

In contrast, Founder and Laminitis Exposed, by Australian Zoe Dodds is a complete, comprehensive guide, full of clear explanations and plenty of helpful illustrations. The volume gives a clear explanation of what laminitis and founder are and covers symptoms, causes, prognosis, prevention, treatment, and diet and nutrition. The final chapters cover complementary natural treatments and a discussion of the seven myths about laminitis and founder.

The $39 price tag for this downloadable e-book is well worth the cost for the knowledge you will gain in reading it. In my opinion, every horse owner with concerns about laminitis and/or founder show own a copy of this book. To sweeten the deal, the author includes two additional books as a bonus: Homeopathy for Horses and Increasing Your Horses Health and Longevity. In addition, the author is so confident in the quality of her product that the entire package comes with a 60-day 100% money back guarantee, so there is nothing to lose in trying it out. The website is a bit annoying, with a lot of hard sell tactics and you need to scroll way down to get to the part of the page where you can actually order it, but don’t be put off by the aggressive marketing techniques, the book will be a valuable addition to your horse library and will save you money in the long run. As horse owners, we owe it to our equine friends to be well informed so that we can be an strong advocate for their health and well-being.

Info on possibly getting a horse ?

hey guys,
So i am about to enroll in horse riding lessons in a small town outside of my city (san antonio) and i’ve loved horses my whole life and im excited to be going through with this. This is a horse school that you actually graduate from and i was thinking after i graduate I’d want my own horse to Board the Horse at the school. (they have boarding available) and I know nothing about keeping a horse and i was just wondering if anyone knows any good books or websites that cover everything for owning a horse. Now i just started these classes im not going to jump into anything and and get a horse right away. I’m just wanting to get educated. then a couple of years down the road get my own pony.
Thank you all for your help.

P.S. the breed i have been interested in and really researching is an Arabian Horse, so if you have any experience to share with them it would also be greatly appreciated

Alright, so.
Arabian horses are… well. They’re hot blooded. They’re very spirited, and are quick with their feet. I’ve ridden a very old arabian (he’s over 20 years old) and despite his old age, he is extremely spritely (or sprightly; however you spell it) and is a little speed demon. Though arabians are extremely beautiful, they are not the greatest horse for a beginner to own or even ride. But, once you CAN ride an arabian, they are sooo much fun to jump.

Here’s some sights you might want to read over that will help you out a little bit. Though the best way to learn about horses is be around and talk to people who know all about them

http://www.horses-and-horse-information.com/

http://www.ultimatehorsesite.com/

http://horses.about.com/od/learntoride/Learn_the_Basics_of_English_or_Western_Riding.htm

In addition, to these websites, i would recommend that you go to the local library and check out some books about horses.
and its great that you’re taking lessons, because many people make the mistake of not taking lessons then buying a horse that is too much for them to handle.

Oh yeah! and what is this riding school that you plan on attending? I live in san antonio, and take lessons there, but i would love to go to a “horse school”
Thanks.. and um. i hope this helps!
