Of course, it was a reprint of a 2001 piece.

Well, not all of it. I was reaching for the kleenex before I ever got to the 2001 reprint.

So sad. John Fort loved that horse. The story about the buttermilk cure they used on Inky is infamous. Sorry to hear it.

No. It was a good thing. But it was "infamous" as it was .... old fashioned. Daring. Risky. Putting rotted buttermilk down an already sick animal? But it worked. So still talked about. The more natural precursor to more expensive current "probiotics" Ofttimes nature is best.

When I was a teenager, old horsemen (and old vets) were still putting drenches of turpentine, whisky and linseed oil down colic horses. No wonder so many died in pain.
