80% to 90% of all laminitis cases are due to metabolic issues. If your horse, donkey, or mule has laminitis, assume that your equine has EMS/IR (Equine Metaboli...c Syndrome/Insulin Resistance) and start him or her on the Emergency Diet right away. Blood tests are also in order. Test glucose and insulin for EMS/IR, and if PPID/Cushing's disease are suspected, test ACTH.

What a marvelous piece of artwork inspired by an amazing photograph! Yesterday SWAT was invited to meet with photographer Scott Wilson and local artist Christi...na Morrison in Golden, Colorado. Scott captured the amazing photograph of Picasso and graciously gave Christina permission to use it as her inspiration for a mural commissioned by the town. 'Picasso: Spirit of the West' captures Picasso in all his glory. What an amazing memorial to Picasso, and all wild horses everywhere! Christina very generously made a donation to SWAT, for which we are very grateful. Thank you, Christina and Scott. for your support of our organization, and the wild horses of Sand Wash Basin! You can see more of Scott's photography at https://www.facebook.com/Wilsonaxpe and Christina's artwork at https://www.facebook.com/cmorrison. Pictured is artist Christina, photographer Scott and Stella, SWAT President. All donations made to SWAT are used to support our work with the Sand Wash Basin herd. We are all volunteers, so funds are used strictly for the good of the horses! Thank you! Donations can be made here: https://secure.goemerchant.com//swatsan/13395/default.aspx? See more
