Star is a 28 year old Mustang mare. We've had her for about 8 years, but she's been around Fallbrook all her life, and even did her time in the Fallbrook Pony Club (before we got her). Here she is today! She looks really great for an old mare...but she's got really bad feet. The problem is she pees a lot!! Doctor says she may be a....psychogenic drinker!!! Because of all these factors, she has always had mild to severe thrush. This winter it got really bad. Here she is this winter, standing in her cesspool of muck and pee!

But she chooses to stand in the mud and pee next to her two buddies (see them in the photo) and her thrush was the worst it has ever been. So, we decided some drastic steps had to be taken. And, of course, we'll be chronicling every step of the way.
