A quick update on Bria – we’re very happy to report that she’s making progress! She came to us thin and with Cushings, DSLD, her teeth were a horrible mess which made it painful for her to even try to eat, she had foundered, and she could be grouchy at times.

At intake, a total exam was done (including bloodwork). Our care team established a rehab plan (we make adjustments over time, as needed). Bria’s dental and farrier needs were taken care of. She was put on a feeding schedule – she gets 5 smaller meals a day. She gets supplements, wears SoftRide boots, and she’s been getting Reiki which helps. We use Benefab QuickWraps on her sometimes and she uses a SmartScrim which she totally enjoys. After the scrim is on her for just a couple of minutes, she relaxes, really relaxes, which helps her in many ways. Her demeanor is much better, she’s a happier, and healthier, horse. We truly appreciate the support we’ve received from Benefab!

Bria hangs out mostly with Little E. She used to follow him around but now, many times, he has to catch up to her!
