I have a 25 year old mare who foundered on both back feet one worse than the other. This was her third time to foundered in her lifetime. We pulled her shoes and I tried different products. For about 4 months we had her on bute just so she could stand and eat.I found her eating one day laying flat on her side and thought I would need to put her down.

Then I tried Laminex. Within a month she was off bute and grazing in a pasture. Her hoof wall has doubled in width and her contracted heels have spread an inch. After about two months of laminex ,she is trotting now in the pasture and I ride her at a walk on sandy or grass covered ground. I have had this mare almost 20 years. She is great for grandkids or me or anyone. I am convinced Laminex saved her life.Thank you...........I myself use MSM daily and then do not have to take any kind off pain medication for arthritis. But I had tried just MSM on this mare without it seeming to help. With Laminex,there was dramatic improvement.:)
