Ruffian was not put down immediately. They operated on her and she did not behave well when the anethetic wore off.

Thrashing around the stall and generally out of control.

They now put the horse in a pool to come out of anethetic and that makes it a bit easier for them.

This horse is not yet out of danger as it is the unbroken hoof that is giving all the trouble.

We continue to hope for the best and it's so gratifying to know that so many people are rooting for this horse.

You're right. I had forgotten about that.

I know laminitis is baaaaad news so I'm hoping for the best for all concerned.
