Portos was suffering from severe pain due to arthritis and hoof cartilage ossification, and not even the continuous administration of painkillers helped, until Jasmin started feeding him our hemp pellets.
But while I’m already writing to you, I want to say THANK YOU! One of my horses has been struggling with arthritis and hoof cartilage ossification for nearly 1.5 years. Nothing seemed to help; he had been on continuous pain medication for about 3/4 of a year and still limped in trot (sometimes more, sometimes less).
For almost three weeks, I’ve been feeding him your CBD pellets as one of my last attempts to improve his condition. And what should I say? For the past two weeks, he has been moving better than he has since the onset of symptoms/diagnosis. I’m even considering whether to start gradually reducing or discontinuing the continuous pain medication soon.
The pellets have also greatly benefited his mental state. Last winter (when the diagnosis was fresh and he had a lot of forced rest), he was almost dangerous; this winter (with training adjusted to his capabilities), he was very skittish, reacting to the smallest things and getting extremely worked up. He could only relax when physically exhausted. Well, for the past 2.5 weeks, he has been consistently relaxed during every training session, only getting startled at normal intensity and quickly regaining his composure.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! After 1.5 years, I am finally optimistic that I might not have two early retirees in the stable!
Update from January 6, 2022:
I just have to send you another picture.
For the first time in 1.5 years, I actually rode my horse again today. We’ve reduced the continuous pain medication, and he’s still moving well.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I believe that without your CBD pellets, I wouldn’t have been glowing on my horse today
