Stillgreen - first off:  Yeowch! Poor mare and poor you. Fourhoof's suggestion of the manuka honey should do a lot of good for your girl.

Also, is your horse's compensation injuries that may be occurring being addressed with chiro work & massage therapy?

Speedy healing to your horse and your bank account.

Every horse deserves to be so highly valued! Congrats to Ruby. She's won the owner lottery:

The journey we have taken with Ruby is a long one but basically she is stage one navicular. Tiff and I both feel that it would not be right to expect her to run barrels even with the best farrier/vet care. She will breakdown somewhere else and we will end up killing her. Her life is worth more than the few dollars she may win.
