Don't know if you got my text photo last night, but Spud is walking!!!!! Not very far or straight, but it is a start! He is thrilled, but very tired.
"In my opinion, when you are truly serious and commited to knowing and doing what's best for your horse to compete at the highest levels you will need three people's help - Poppy, an outstanding horseshoer and a great vet. Pretty much in that order."

Well . . . Fashion was bright eyed and bushy tailed tonight when I got to the barn after work. I applied one more treatment, head-tail, belly to chest, down the legs, tail to head.
Her flanks are much better today, still not her perfect self but better -

Hi Poppy,
I just wanted to let you know that Aurora is a changed horse! The last two times I hae ridden her she has cantered in both directions without a fuss. Her neck is all floppy afterward, so I know she is relaxed. I went back to riding her in a hackamore and she is much happier. The magnesium may be helping too. I only just started the yarrow, so don't know the full effect of that yet. Thank you, thank you for your adjustment and suggestions. Megan
Hey Poppy, My dog is 1 1/2yrs olds and a German boxer, with a lot of health problems. One day he and I decided to go for a four hour horseback ride. We got half way through the ride when we stopped for water. After Joe got his fill of water he layed down in some tall grass. The next thing I hear is Joe yelping. I look closely to see why he had yelped and seen a spider bite on his back right inner thigh. We finished our ride and I thought nothing serious would come from the bite, but I was wrong. The next morning his leg was swollen ten times its normal size. I immediately took him to the vet. What they told me was a huge shock he had been bitten by a black widow and they didn’t think he would make it through the treatment. So they told me the most humane thing to do is to put him down. I didn’t like what that vet had said, so I took him to another vet to get a second opinion and they said the same thing. Sincerely, Tabitha Flanigan

As a last resort a mutual friend of Poppy's and mine introduced us. Even though I was skeptical I proceeded to let her work with Joe. Before she started working on Joe she prayed to God asking for his help in the diagnosis and treatment plan for Joe. Then God started speaking to Poppy through my dog. I thought to myself there was no way this would work, until Poppy looked at me and told me a secret that I had only ever told my dog. From then on I knew that it was of Gods will and that it would work. Poppy told us that it would get worse before it got better, and it did. All the next week all of us were holding our breath because we didn’t think he would pull through but Joe had other ideas. Joe pulled through his illness, despite everyone’s thoughts.
I thank God and Poppy for helping my dog because when everyone said there was nothing that could be done, she thought differently. If it wasn’t for Poppy and the work she does my dog would have been put down.
