Africa was great and I just sent some photos, the horses were fine. Stella my 24 yo Cushings mare had an abscess while I was gone but the vet dug it out and she is fine now. I have had her on LMF low carb since August with a bit of Triple Crown Safe Starch and her laminitis that lasted over 8 months is all better. I am keeping my fingers crossed. It is interesting, I thought her laminitis had cleared up but she was still lame and holding up one foot. The vet insisted I must keep her on banamine but when I stopped it another abscess burst and she was fine. Dr Kellon of the Cushings list suggested that the banamine would keep the abcess at bay and it was true. She developed the next one while I was gone and perhaps the manure got in the hole or something. I now have her in boots and she feels great. The others spent the time in a 30 acre pasture with two other Icelandics down the street, a quarter horse and a thoroughbred, they had a ball. Ann
