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.
