Ceylon Star...yikes. I guess you could almost call that internal amputation (similar to internal decapitation). I'll bet your surgeons are still...

Thanks all...making progress . Most of the time I am down to one crutch and can putter around the kitchen or at work with no crutch. I did break the...

Have you tried spirulina? Sometimes that works well for hives. I had one that would break out late July, early August. I think she was allergic to the...

Room for a Pony...yes, as tolerated. I made it to the barn last night and actually, using only one carrot, was able to brush my horse. She has a fear...

Room for a pony, it is going...in baby steps. It really isn't very comfortable so I am still using the crutches and doing 20-30% weight bearing on the...

Ecileh...that’s OK. I am still using them and just partially weighting the foot. It isn’t too happy yet. I thought they were pretty good (ones I have...

Room for a Pony...only one to go...woohoo. I have spongy rubber hand grips on my old crutches and they work pretty good. My wrists are sore and stiff...

Just to update...I made it! Last night I swear my right shoulder was going to fall off. I entertained taking a pain pill in the middle of the night but...

Another fan here. I won't put anything else on my horse. You know, she is good 99% of the time but that 1% she sometimes thinks she is the leader, it...

I love my Hybrid halter. The nose knots do not bother my fairly sensitive/reactive Andalusian cross. I had tried a rope halter with the nose knots on...

I have not had knee replacement...plenty of other things...but it seems for me that...
