(Photos taken in early 2003, about 8 months after a hoof wall resectioning)
Back then, we were pretty sure that Limerick would be crippled for life. It's hard to imagine escaping 17 degrees of rotation, with near-sole prolapse, without any blemishes.
But we were wrong. Almost seven years after the photographs above were taken, here's Limerick.
This photograph was taken yesterday by The Click Chick Photography.
It brings a huge, huge smile to my face. Here is a 19-year-old mare, once horribly foundered, galloping through the snow with pure joy. As they say, a photograph says a thousand words. What do all the photographs on this page together tell you?
