My Story

Whole Horse Hoof Care by The Gentle Equine

The pony pictured here is "Cupcake",  she is an amazing little fighter of a diagnosis of both EMS and PPID.  She continues to educate me daily.  I am so very blessed to have her in my life.

ABOUT THE GENTLE EQUINE

I have been blessed be connected with equines during my entire life. However, back in 2013, my pony Cupcake, was diagnosed with EMS/IR, then eventually with PPID.  In 2013, her insulin was <200, and was unable to receive guidance how to navigate this via the veterinary clinic.  I was frustrated, she was sore.  This pony was on a dry lot.  I ended up heading to the internet and found the ECIR group.  I posted my test results, and started my case study and never looked back.  They promptly responded that she was severely IR, and that I needed to start the "emergency" diet; which, I did immediately. After, her diagnosis there ensued a HUGE learning curve, which is WHY I want to help YOU.    

HAPPY EQUINES THRIVE WITH HAPPY HOOVES
