Two weeks ago I took in Dollie an almost 4 year old AQHA Quarter Horse mare. She was malnourished, infested in worms, her hooves were really odd and my farrier said due to lack of nutrition the hooves didn’t grow properly. With proper nutrients she hopefully will recover and start growing healthy hooves. She was sore all over due to lack of selenium which causes severe muscle soreness in acute deficiencies. She could hardly walk. The first week she was here I got her hooves trimmed and assessed by my farrier, she was vaccinated and dewormed. She’s been on high quality feed ever since her arrival and daily grain and vitamins with added selenium. She’s recovered now and pain free! She’s free from parasites, she’s shedding all her hair and getting a healthy summer coat. Dollie is now healthy enough to be out with my herd and she’s settling in well with them. She will be started on my training program this week and will be broke to ride in a few months!
