Welcome to the DG tina2255abdn...though I'm sorry you found it through this dreadful disease. I'm pleased that you have found some comfort reading lioness and Nelsons story. Strength to you and your horse.

Hi Tina, I know what you are going through, this time 2 years ago I was nursing my gelding Jo through chronic grass sickness, it was this thread about Nelson who inspired me to try and save my lad as the vets wanted to put him to sleep. It was the hardest summer of my life, but worth it, Jo made a full recovery and is doing great, we are not sure if he will ever be ableto be rode again but he is alive, I could not ask for more.
Well done for giving your horse a chance, and if you think I can help in anyway please feel free to PM me and I will try to help, or even just to get it off your chest.
Wishing you all the luck in the world and I hope you horse goes on the make a full recovery, Please keep us posted.
Love.
Sheli

Thanks for your kind words!
i will be staying around everyone seems soo friendly!!
Hes still doing well, and im such a proud mum!! at this moment in time i feel soo lucky, and i choose to keep going because Cruz (my horse) told me!! sounds quite sad really but i could see it.
I have only owned him for 3 months on the 10th of august, and if anything from this experience it has enabled a bond to grow between us!!

Wow He is looking absolutely stunning! Have been following your amazing story and seeing pics of him looking so well has actually got me in tears. I can't imagine how you must be feeling! He is one lucky boy to have such a dedicated and caring owner and I am so happy things are going well for you.

Oh Lioness, he looks wonderful! You must be so glad you fought for him - not only does he look stunning but he seems to be thoroughly enjoying life ;D
How long had you spent on his mane & tail? It puts me to shame as mine are only done on special occassions.

Thankyou all, and to those who had made contact about his Lordship very many thanks again. Naria, actually, we bathed him last week when it was warm and only brushed the shaving out just before we started taking pics this morning ! nothing else since ! Glad you like the pics, I'll put a couple more on later.. cheers L x
