Melissa Rails and “Spyder Web”

Posted by Heather in YOUR Horse on March 26th, 2010

Spyder Web is a 6 year old NSH. When he was 2 he dislocated his right front fetlock 90 degress, and damaged his radical nerve. He was hanging from a pipe corral, when we found him his temp was 91 degrees and he was in shock dieing. We put a cast on his leg every week for 6 months, gave him steroids to help the nerve regenerate. For one month he was only able to walk backward, the nerve that tells pulls the leg forward was damaged. I put him on Platinum Performance, Hoof Support, and Ortho Chon right away. Hopes of Spyder recovering enough to be a show horse was slim, but I have been riding and showing Spyder succcessfully for two years now. Last year Spyder and I received high point Training Level Amatuer Rider for Bear Valley Dressage Horse Shows. Thank You Platinum for helping Spyder fully recover from his tragic accident!!!
