6 months ago I posted pics of my good horses X-rays. Significant rotation in both front feet and very close to the coffin bone coming out the bottom of his front feet. All caused by a reaction to steroids in hock injections. At one point I wanted him put down because he was so painful. It will be 6 months tomorrow but I ran him yesterday at his first barrel race since it all happened. Made a super nice run just out of the money and he felt great!!! He still has about 3/4" of old foot to grow out but the new foot looks amazing !!! Just wanted to share my update. Laminitis / founder is not a career ending death sentence if your willing to put in the work to get them over it.

Glad your horse is better. I started feeding TRI AMINO to improve a top line. Farrier said woo your hoses feet look great. What are you feeding?  I is not real expensive. Like $37 for 120 servings.

Mine gets unlimited teff grass hay, handful of alfalfa twice a day. He is on renew gold with horseguard mega dose for vitamin /minerals. I did consult with dr Schell at curost and he makes a special blend for feet so we started that 2 weeks ago. But that's it !

I think it's nothing short of amazing that in just 6 months time he's back to running. I saw the videos of how bad he was, it hurt to watch. Having lost a nice horse to the dreaded laminitis, I think it's incredible what you were able to accomplish! It's not something that I hear about all the time, the success stories are few between. I'm happy for him and you! I know how hard you worked 24/7 to help get him better. Congratulations! That run was NICE! he looked happy to be at it again.

Dr. Schell is brilliant and Cur-ost products are amazing!
