Once you were in receipt of the x-rays and I
received your call to discuss Holly, everything
moved very swiftly and the following day, 25th
July, saw your first visit. (I add here that I
was so pleased to hear from you, as I honestly
believed no-one would want to know about a 30yr
old mare!). From that very first visit you have
transformed her quality of life, she was
immediately the most comfortable I had seen her
for a long time, and to date there has also been
no reoccurrence of the colic’s, thought to be
induced by her stress.
Your knowledge and experience in treating
laminitis is incredible, every step of the way
you reassured us with what you were going to do,
and I found you were a professional that showed
patience, caring and kindness, not only to the
pony but the owners as well.
Recently, you paid a second visit, and Holly’s
improvement is beyond anything we had ever hoped
for or thought we would see again. Now into her
2nd set we know
her progress is consistent, she is full of it as
you saw, and is a contented happy mare enjoying
an active life to the full. We are both still
stunned at the vast change in her, in a
relatively short period of time. For anybody
reading this that is in despair there is hope,
it was the best ‘phone call I have ever made.
I have included a picture taken the 10th
September, 5 days after your 2nd
visit, although unfortunately, these days I am
only usually able to get a picture of her rear
as she races past me! I hasten to add the field
was used for photographic purposes only and not
her normal grazing area.
We can never thank you enough for visiting
Holly, the Imprint shoes have given her a new
lease of life. More importantly, we are
absolutely convinced without them she would not
be with us now.
A huge THANK YOU

Holly Update...
As some months have passed since your first
visit, it has now also given me time to reflect
and consider all the positives that have come
from it that I hadn’t even thought of. From
Holly’s point of view not only is she more
comfortable, but looking at her as a whole, she
is able to walk properly without compromising
her other limbs and back, her whole body is
looking fitter... ...if anything happened
tomorrow we have the knowledge that Holly has
had the chance to be a free spirit again.
Kind regards
