Treating dying horses with acupuncture.

This is a beautiful and touching equine acupuncture story. from Lidwine Timmermans in Netherlands: a horsie story. Some other experience this last weekend. Quite emotional and something I never had before. But I just want to share.My friends horse got very sudden laminitis. She had it ones before, but not very bad and she is always very carefull with food and the grass in the field.. Friday I went to see her horse. She also did let the vet come to make pictures.
