The healing toe doesn’t last forever, with each new hoof cycle, the attachment and connection comes in strong and tighter.

Buddy takes his napping super seriously!
He’s like a teenager you have to clean up around 😂
Buddy and Jessica still like brother and sister 5 years on.
These pair were raised from foals together after they each lost their mothers.

BALLOONS DON’T GO TO HEAVEN
There’s quite a divide on whether balloon releases are a fitting way to honor a passed loved one.
The video below demonstrates the potential dangers: a 10 week old foal got tangled in stray balloons and string.
She narrowly avoided breaking a leg, which would likely have been fatal.
Fortunately, she escaped with only soft tissue injuries and hematomas.
Are balloon releases truly worth the risk?
This video, dated 20th March 2024, documents just how poorly Wex really was, from having to be trimmed lay down to his current ability to walk, trot, and even manage a few strides of canter around our track system is not a matter of luck.
It is the result of extensive efforts by a dedicated team of professionals who have meticulously cared for him throughout his rehabilitation.
Wex's resilience and strong will to live have been crucial to his recovery. While many might have considered his condition hopeless, our commitment to providing a healthy, natural environment and implementing the appropriate trimming techniques has facilitated his healing.
We are still very much in the middle of rehab but everything is looking really positive and going really well.

Little Smokey pony, once the topic of huge debate regarding the long toe laminitis rehab protocols we follow here.
People were outraged and said he would never recover.
Well here he is, happily mooching around our track system.
His long toe/lamina wedge is now a distant memory, he now has normal, healthy shaped hooves.
He’s scruffy and a bit grubby but he try happy and living his best life within a big herd of friends.

Significant milestone for Wex tonight!
He is out on the track without boots.
As observed, he is moving cautiously but comfortably from one hay station to another.
We will monitor him closely and reapply his boots when/if necessary.
The benefits of boot-free time include strengthening and toughening of the sole, as well as natural exfoliation and stimulation from the track surfaces.
Great to see new boys Micky and Alfie know where the water trough is 👌🏻
