Your post about the mare was exceptionally informative, including the vet evaluation and feeding program which so improved the health of the mare. Thank you so much for the detailed description of what worked in your situation. It could certainly help other objective owners with horses in similar circumstances, and it seemed especially appropriate at the time you wrote about it because of the KS rescue.
Perhaps I'm naive, but I fail to see how your post was an attack. I read the post for horse health information, and that was what I found.
IMO, as our economy fails, the number of horses in poor condition is fast increasing. Although it's painful to admit, horses are a luxury no matter how much we love them and think of them as family. Is this perhaps another reminder to be honest with ourselves about recognizing when it's time to rehome our horses, for the sake of the horses?
Finding generous and capable people like you will surely become more difficult. I admire what you've done and value your unbiased knowledge.
