Western Morning News article!

We were thrilled that Susannah Commings and the Western Morning News wanted to run an article about barefoot and navicualar horses, and it came out last Friday with a lovely photo of Ghostie jumping at Pontispool to illustrate it :-)

If you are in Devon, Cornwall or Somerset, its page 2 of the West Country Horses section. For those of you elsewhere, here is the link to the article on their website: http://www.westernmorningnews.co.uk/displayNode.jsp?nodeId=247715&command=displayContent&sourceNode=247705&contentPK=19258670&moduleName=InternalSearch&formname=sidebarsearch

Brilliant - this is what we need - people with navicular horses told and shown that their vets and farriers are wrong when they say that their horses can't be cured. Well done!!!

One day the insurance companies will pick up on it and start refusing to pay for loss of use and destruction, and then we'll really be doing the right thing for our horses.

Thanks Caroline :-) Its a great article and it would be lovely if it gave even one or two more horses a chance after a navicular diagnosis...

Its ironic that Ghost is now the star of a navicular article, given the prognosis we had for him at 17 - and here he is, 24 next month(!) looking and moving better than ever. Its a pretty sobering thought given what could have happened to him...
