The pool is another idea - I wonder too! Even if to let him walk in really deep water. It does show the limitations we still have with fixing founder... I'd almost think they could take the foot apart and fix it, but they can't. And that's another reason to try all to avoid it. It's still a killer, even when money's no object.
Well I was thinking more of putting him in a sling in the water...maybe he would have trashed around to much...
And all of these questions are exactly why I feel this should never have been tried. Too many questions, risks of a bad ending anyway, why put the poor animal thru it. Do you think he was truly a happy content, pain free horse thru out this ordeal?
