A Vet's Observation

"I was out to see [a client's horse] yesterday to draw some screening blood work on him and he looks FANTASTIC!  I can't remember ever having seen his eyes look so soft and him being so relaxed - amazing how getting a horse out of chronic pain can change his life!  His body condition is very good and his coat is now soft and has a glow to it.  His feet look much better as well.  As soon as the blood results come in I will let you  know.  
The information from the [ECIR] group ... has really been helpful for many horses."
