Conlon Paint & Quarter Horses

Conlon Paint Horses is pleased to share pictures of this smashing pony mare with everyone. Echo is owned
by a neighbouring family of ours, Terry and Rosie Forget. They had sold her 1 1/2 years ago and found out
recently she was badly foundered and in desperate need of hoof care. They arranged to get her back. They called
us and asked if we could help. We said YES!! Echo was delivered by her neglectful owner to our ranch where she
is now the happy recipient of hoof care, deworming and all the grooming and love any pony could ever want!!

Echo has been trimmed by our farrier, Ian Freeman and the results are not
as bad as we feared. Her coffin bones have rotated a 1/4 turn. We were expecting worse. Echo is now starting the slow healing process. Restricted diet, Bute sparingly, leg massages with liniment and hoof trims every 6
weeks with light flatwork to follow. This truly was a shame, Echo deserved much better treatment. Echo is trained to ride and drive, a wonderful broodmare and an all round smashing pony!!!!

We are honoured to be a part of Echo's recovery! You can visit Echo's owner Rosie, online at www.cabinfevercollections.com/ To inquire about your Pet Portrait today! Be sure to check back for recent
pictures of Echo to be added soon.

I know this picture is very upsetting, but I feel it should be shared. The injustice done to this lovely pony mare was a real crime. We are very happy Echo is here now to enjoy her 'dates' with our friend and farrier, Ian Freeman. Updated pictures of Echo's new hooves will be coming soon!! She has been trimmed and is feeling much better now, the adjustments on her tendons and ligaments has been kinda' hard. She has had leg soakings (cold and tepid temps) which she does not fancy and liniments with massages which she fancies very much!!

Echo is no spring chicken anymore...she deserves to be pampered now!! Echo had her teeth floated on May 24th, '05 and is doing very well. Thanks Dr. Trent Wennekamp from the Lloydminster Animal Hospital! Echo lived with a wonderful family for many years, we are truly honoured to have her reside here now!! Echo is smart, funny and above all adorable!!! =0)

Check back to this page for updates as Echo becomes more sound with lots of soft footing and light flatwork...ok... I am just walking her and keeping her on the soft grass she wants to graze so badly! I am getting quite a right arm on me from tugging her darling little head up!! =0)

On the seventh day, God created the Quarter Horse, on the eighth day, He painted the good ones.
