Laminitis Success Story

I feel like writing the newspaper and saying if your horse has laminitis, you need to call For Love of the Horse! Cassidy is my 25 y/o QH and my best companion.  Four days before Christmas a close friend of mine lost her horse of 39 years and she had to bury her.  I was sure Cassidy was going to die... and so was everyone else.  Cassidy has Chronic Laminitis.  Cassidy was down again, gasping for air and could not get up at all.  My vet had told me I needed to put her down and the bute she was on had done nothing.  I was asking my friend what kind of arrangements I needed to take for putting down Cassidy.  When I got home and looked at Cassidy again on the barn floor gasping for air. A little voice said there has to be a way to help her...

I am 80 years old and live alone in the high mountains of Pennsylvania.  I called my son Roger at work, who lives 2 hours a way and said, "you have to go home now and get on the computer and find a holistic cure for Cassidy's Laminitis!"  Roger knows nothing about horses let alone Laminitis, but stumbled upon the For Love of the Horse's website.  I think God guided him. I called and spoke to Allison and they shipped the Laminitis Solution, MMP Stop, and Natural Pain Relief overnight. I gave Cassidy her first dose of herbs the day before Christmas Eve while she was lying down and gasping for air.  (Now, I have two beautiful children, 11 grandchildren and 8 great-grand children that I love very much.  But, this Christmas I didn't care coming or going.  I just wanted my horse.)  By Christmas Eve morning Cassidy was sitting and her gasping had slowed a little. On Christmas morning at 4:30am I went out to check on Cassidy not knowing what I would find.  When I walked into the barn there was Cassidy standing there looking at me and she whinnied!  I just stood there and cried!  She had color back in her lips, mouth and gums and her eyes were bright.  I was in awe! The next day Cassidy was moving her feet.

Cassidy broke out in a sweat for 3 days there after.  My vet had recommended I try bute and I had Cassidy on it for a few weeks before I found For Love of the Horse, and I think she was having withdrawals or sweating out the toxins.  I stopped the bute as soon as my herbs arrived.  By the 7th day I went out to check on her and she was out ROLLING IN THE MUD!  Cassidy got up and SHOOK HERSELF OFF!  This is something she hasn't been able to do since last August!  It has almost been a month since Cassidy started taking her herbs and on a scale of 1 to 10 Cassidy is at an 8!  Words can not express how I feel... you saved my horse!"
