omg to all those ''you cut her legs off '' comments, A) shes dead, she gonna care B) for research and to help other owners and horse in same situ, farriers practice on dead legs all time, its the best learning tool you can have, better than books and diagrams, as farriers and hoof professionals need to be able to visualise the inner structures, how you gona do that if u aint taken a good few looks urself ? i know its a bit yuccky but come on use ur brains kids x
This lady put the horse down to et it out of its misury. They cut the hoofs off to study them to see what it was and to educate what can happen. She should be wearing gloves tho.
I was raised on a ranch where we butchered our own cattle to eat. Nevertheless, I love horses and do not believe in killing them etc. I personally cannnot even watch these videos, I feel so bad for that horse. The legs stayed in my freezer for 4 years until a few months ago I started taking the hoof capsils off to study the inner foot. The story they "really" told was far different that what I originally thought, and what I learned has helped me to help other horses.
@TheHopeAndAshleyShow for research dummy, you think surgeons practice on a person first time? no they use a cadaver (dead body) to practice on, same here x
wait so after this pony was put down, you just cut her legs off? is that normal procedure or something?????? and why arent you wearing gloves? and are you a veterinarian?
gradually increasing her grazing time by 10 minutes every week until she can safely be left out all the time. I don't have a large pastured turnout area (about 3 acres) but it's something I've always been very cautious of. I also don't believe this mare had cushings.
the more I watch this the more ill I become. I have never seen nearly complete wall separation, and complete coffin bone rotation. Unfortunately, this is what happens in severe laminitis, which as you know turned into founder in this poor mares' case. Around my part of the country (New England) the first spring grass, and grass in the fall as the temps are warm during the day, but cool at night produce the highest sugar content. I start my 27 yr. old mare out for 10 min. a day for 2 wks,
she must have been lame for quite a while before she started to lay down due to the unbearable pain; the lameness and the way she shifted her weight to her hind legs in part 1 should have ringed a bell for the vet and farrier - that poor horse must have suffered so much, it breaks my heart
@Twinkle2001 Yes, I can't even watch these videos, even though I did them. It's wierd, because durring those 3 days of meeting this lady and trying to help the horse, my brain just went into a no emotion mode, I was so intent on trying to find relief for this mare. Otherwise the horror of the whole situation would have prevented me from thinking clearly...if that makes sense. But I can't watch these I feel so bad for that mare.
I have had a horse with Laminitis. It is extremly common in the UK. Fresh spring grass is the biggest problem, but it can also be caused by over feeding of hard feed. My horse did make a recovery but his diet had to be closly moniterd for the rest of his life. He dyed age 33yrs (Not Laminitis related). I was tought that the 1st thing to do if you suspect Laminitis is starve the horse, No feed at all. Cool the feet for atleest 20mins 3 times a day by hosing, standing in cold water etc
Thank you for posting this videos you have no idea how much you helped me, thanks for all the information you show in here, i was able to detect the laminitis on time of my 19 year old hmare, she has now 6 months on treatment and she is doing GREAT.
thank you. she is the love of my life i donno what i would do if i lost her
Very Informative, too bad I can't hand this video to every owner I see over-feeding/ giving the horses tooooo much pasture time(did I mention too many sweets?). I have seen many horses in terrible condition--- literally limping/ laying from founder- and yet-- they still turn them out! Ignorance is terrible. Your video shows the amazing damage that can cause- thank you for taking the time to inform others!
Laminitis supposedly can be treated, but if the bone in the ankle falls through the bottom of the foot, how can you restore it? Take a bone out of your ankle and see how well you can walk, and surgery is stressful. What can you do to treat the coffin bone and support it if it is ready to sink, or if it even moved?
If this mare was left any longer, her whole hooves could have potentially, and literally fallen off, disconnected from the hair line like the lady is shown. Very educational thanks.
Thank you for taking the time to record all these various videos.. no blame from me here just thanks for showing the dangers.. its the top 1 inch of new grass that has most of the sugars the longer the grass the better... and dont plant rye grass as it has the most sugars
Just circumstances, and when Joann did realize something was wrong then the experts misdiagnosed it. and so forth and so on. That is why Joann let me have her hooves, and do these vidoes, to help other horses owners be able to understand how events can just accumulate without your realizing it, and you wind up in this situation.
Thanks for clearing that up for me. It's not Joann's fault that Cat Dancer had to be put down. Cat Dancer died peacefully surrounded by the people who loved her. Was her barn name Cat or Dancer?
i agree no matter how much you say you love them, if you did love her you would have let her go a long time ago i cant see how you could stand and watch that poor girl suffer for such a long time its obvious she wasnt going to get better
google poisoned horse Cathy Justus for a possible cause

Why didn't the catch it early? If they'd caught the Laminitis sooner Cat Dancer would still be alive.
