These pictures were taken May 30th. I wasn't trying to get full body pics. I was trying to get pics for a friend to show her how much Black dropped off behind the withers (muscle atrophy due to age). But I think they still give a pretty good idea of her "condition".
Can you see her ribs and lack of topline covering over her hips?
This looks like an old horse to me. She was always tucked up and "gant" in her flanks.
This was last night (Abby had to sneak in).
Look at how filled out she is in those hips and the flank! I can also tell you that her ribs are getting more and more difficult to see.
I managed to talk another drill member into trying the KC. Her horse is a TB that is always thin. She's taken him to several different vets (including ISU). She has him on daily ulcer meds and still he looks like death warmed over. She started him on the KC almost 2 weeks ago. The first week she though she saw results but like me didn't want to admit to it. The start of the second week he quit eating. She took him to the vet and his teeth had locked his jaw closed. The vet unlocked his teeth and he will go in for a float but she said the vet commented that he'd never looked better.
When I saw him last night there is no denying that the KC is helping him. It will be interesting to see how getting his teeth done helps too.
Lu is still doing well too. We have a busy few weeks ahead of us but one of these days I will get new pics. She's kind of leveled off but her movement and attitude are still improving.

Black looks real good in that pic,and for some reason taller than i remember,maybe just the way it was taken or its because she is standing next to shortstop(Abby)
