On 5/24/10 my 7-year old APHA mare Leo was diagnosed with acute laminitis. She battled courageously for 4 months, spiraling downhill as her bones sank, rotated & ultimately started to die. On 9/24/10 she went to Happy Horsey Heaven where she now runs & plays in perfect health. I created this blog to keep people informed of her progress. Now that she's gone I hope other owners can use it as a learning tool, as well as a place to share their experiences with people who understand.
