Gerda's Equine Rescue, Inc.
Like so many Standardbreds B.B. had a racing career then went on to become an Amish buggy horse. We found him in rough shape standing in a killpen in November after a buggy accident in which he had been impaled in the back leg by one of the shafts. This poor horse was thrown away to be slaughtered, standing in pain in need of medical care. We rescued him, brought him to GER and got him the medical attention that he needed to make a full recovery! He went to a foster for the month of January and was on his way back to GER to meet his new adoptive family! On the way back he fell in route and got his hoof stuck in a small gap under the trailer’s back door. He managed to free himself but cracked his hoof in half in the process. We immediately rushed him to the Myhre Clinic where he underwent surgery to wire his hoof back together. He spent two weeks in the hospital followed by 4 weeks of stall rest. We have spend the last 3 months rehabbing his hoof with daily care and he has new growth starting to grow in and he is expected to make a full recovery. Nutrition is vital to achieving good hoof growth and B.B. can really benefit from Platinum Performance's CJ + Platinum Hoof Support supplement.
