āØ Appreciation post for Wrangler and all the people in my corner who help me care for him! āØ
Wrangler isnāt just another horse in the barnāheās a testament to grit, patience, and the kind of partnership that only comes from going through the ups and downs together. Managing a horse with PSSM1 isnāt always easy. Itās a genetic muscle disorder that affects how they store and use sugar, which can lead to stiffness, soreness, and muscle issues if not carefully managed. It means every part of his care matters.
Day to day, itās all about the details and the weatherāhis feed program, schedule, workload, and added support like chiropractic care, ozone, accuscope, and other therapies to keep him feeling his best.
But through it all, Wrangler shows up. He works, he tries, and he gives everything he has. Thatās what makes me so grateful. There were times things couldāve gone a different direction, where using him might not have been possibleābut here we are, still hitching him up, still counting on him, still building something great together.
Heās made me a better horsemanāteaching me patience, attention, and how to truly listen. And the truth is, heās worth it all.
Thanks for all the miles, memories, and heart, buddy. Hereās to many more. š¤
