Mr. Eby, My name is Lisa and I have a huge (18 hand) young Dutch Warmblood.  I got Winsome when he was 2 and he is now 7.  Last year Winsome got very ill and almost died of equine colitis.  Fortunately, because of the wonderful care at a local vet school, they saved Winsome’s life!  When Winsome came home he had the usual time off taking things slow.  He seemed to be so much better almost immediately, but then, after about a month, he coliced twice within a two week period and became lame.  We took x-rays of his front end to find he had some variations in the navicular bone.   We still are not sure of the cause, but the trauma to his system during his time of illness probably played a major role.

Needless to say, I was devastated that my beautiful sweet boy may never be sound again.  It was so hard to see how uncomfortable he was and to know that my plans for him as a show horse in hunters and dressage had probably ended. We first tried injections that worked at first, but then we might as well have been shooting the injections in the air as they totally stopped working.  I did my research and found George Eby.   Although my vet suggested several options, one being nerving, which was out of the question, I felt giving the GN a shot was certainly the best option for me and for Winsome.   I started Winsome on the 42% Gallium Nitrate in April of 2010, almost 1 year after his colitis.   He has recovered in just that short period of time to about 90%.  I plan to continue to use the GN for as long as it takes, but I feel confident Winsome will be back to 100% soon.  Although I got some slack from my vet about using the GN, even he now admits he is impressed and is very happy that I tried it.  I also know of a local lady that used the GN and her horse is a 100% after being close to being put down he was so lame.

Thank you, thank you, thank you George!!!
