Paynter update: NEWS FLASH.. OMG OMG OMG thank you lord power of prayers.

Our warrior had Dr. Brian Fraley flown in from KY to visit him and wow yes he has beaten Laminitis.

And yes he can race again. Here are the details.... casts were removed today. He is showing uniform wall growth in all four feet.

Radiographs taken barefoot showed significant sole growth.

The hoof-lamellar zone has returned to a normal thickness indicating a decrease in swelling within the hoof.

Soft-ride boots with EVA foam pads were placed on the front feet and EVA foam pads were placed on the hind feet

He is sound at the walk Drs. Javsicas & Fraley are optimistic that his feet will not be performance limiting.

Meaning that he can race again at a top-notch level. Now that our warrior have beaten this sick disease of laminitis if he can only beat his colitis and get his G1 track back to normal.Healing will take some time but we are heading in the right direction

His fever is normal today. He is bright, happy and comfortable. I am on cloud nine, I will take it day by day.

We can’t claim victory yet but the people’s horse is fighting hard and he is so courageous. #Champion #keepfightingpaynter
