Jackie

Jackie came to us with a severe soft tissue injury to her left shoulder.  She went to the vet and had xrays taken which confirmed the damage to her shoulder.  She had been a feedlot horse and was kicked by a steer with both hind legs into her one shoulder.  We put her on arthisoothe gold, as well as some alternative treatments. 

By her 3rd month here, she was dragging her leg.  By the 4th month she was finally showing improvements.  She now has very few days where she is off.  However, she will never be considered sound.  She will always have soft tissue damage in her shoulder joint and be on medication to help improve it.
Jackie is due to foal any day.  She had been accidentally bred by a stallion from another pasture who jumped the fence.  Her foaling pictures will be posted as soon as she foals.
