Sky is a 1992 Registered Mini horse. He is a rescue with a few issues. His health has been a little on the decline
in the last couple of years. Nothing dramatic, just stuff you see with older horses. When I began implementing
the diet changes, I didn't have huge expectations for Sky, I just figured that it would be a good thing for him. He
has been the one who has most surprised me. The photos below were taken on April 21, 2009. His dietary
changes began that same day.

The photos to the right and
below are all one month
later, taken on May 25,
2009. The changes in Sky
have been quite
significant.
The changes I expected all
came. His coat is coming in
darker and shinny. I
suspect as his mineral
levels fully come into
balance we will see an
even more dramatic
change in coat color and
texture. I had hoped he
would be able to shed out
faster and he has. In prior
years, he always sheds out
eventually, but with each
year it takes just a little
longer. His energy level is
better than I have ever
seen. He positively
exuberant out in the
pasture with his girlfriend
Flower.

Then there are the changes
that have occurred that I did
not foresee. He has
struggled with tender
hooves since he came to
me. He had clearly
foundered some years
before I met him. With only
the mineral changes, the
tenderness of his hooves
has been completely
relieved. I was not
expecting this change.
He has always had mild
stomach issues, a little
gassy, a little distended,
often has his penis dropped,
I have tried all kinds of
things to help with this, had
the vet look at him several
times, no changes.
But, with his dietary
changes, the gas has gone,
he no longer walks around
with his penis dropped and
his belly is amazingly
receding.
I have also noticed a sharp
reduction in flies around
him. I am really looking
forward to the changes I
know he will continue to
make over the next few
months.
