My fifteen year old mare was diagnosed with suspensory desmitis (right foreleg) this past July. When the vet said she would need 6 to 12 months of stall rest, my first thought was, "How will Dolly and I be able to handle such long confinement?" My second thought: check the Horseman's Advisor.

Thanks to Dr. O's great articles and all the helpful posts of fellow HA members, my mare has survived the stall rest phase and graduated to rehab under saddle and small paddock turnout.

Thank you, everyone.
