“IF” AND HER REMARKABLE STORY

AFTER! |
Doug and Lori Veerkamp have six mules. They, their family, and friends ride the mules throughout the Sierra Nevada Mountains during the summer months. “IF” was their third mule. She was fourteen years old when they got her, and as they were soon to find out, she had chronic hoof problems. Her hooves were shelly and cracked, with very thin hoof walls, and the springtime would find her with multiple abscesses. Because of this, it was difficult to keep shoes on. Many of the standard remedies were tried with no avail over the next thirteen plus years, and their Farrier, Gregg Anderson, did his best.
On one particular occasion all the mules were out on a fairly easy ride and “IF” threw her right front shoe. As it happened, one of the other riders that day was familiar with work that a group of Farriers had done using E3Live™ For Horses. After examining the thin walled, shelly cracked hooves, the rider understood that this mule couldn’t possibly keep shoes on with hooves like this and something needed to be done. He suggested the Veerkamps' start a regiment of feeding 1 ½ ozs of E3Live™ For Horses twice a day. They were willing to try the product, and feeding began almost immediately. Over the first five days the product was introduced slowly finally reaching that recommended feeding rate of 1 ½ ozs of E3Live™ For Horses twice a day. This worked very well because “IF” was at the bottom of the pecking order and now she was being separated out from the rest of the mules, to feed the E3Live™ For Horses, and she could eat in peace.
“IF” would become due for a trim seven weeks later, and an evaluation of her progress would be made at the time. Gregg Anderson arrived at the Veerkamp’s and prepared to trim the mules for the winter. The Veerkamp’s had not told him of the change in diet. When he began to pare the sole of the hoof, this is what he found.

Which led Gregg to say “IF’s” hooves are much stronger and better than I’ve ever seen them.” The Veerkamp’s told Greg about the E3Live™ For Horses, to which he replied,” we’ll see how they look the next time I’m out in the February”.
Here is what he found in February… To his amazement, when he went to look for “IF” amongst the herd, he had trouble finding her… His comment, “I almost didn’t recognize her she looks so healthy”.
Here is what she looked like in August, before the E3Live™ For Horses feeding started…

As dramatic as these improvements are, the prognoses is even greater for “IF’s” total health because of the regular use of E3Live™ For Horses, professional Farrier care, and caring owners like Doug and Lori Veerkamp.
Update: Gregg has come back since February to trim “IF’s” hooves again and he was once again amazed with her progress. Not only did he have trouble locating her, (because she look so good) after her trim he made the following comment, “I have been trimming “IF’s” hooves for fourteen years and she has never and I mean never had anything but dished, flared, cracked, thin walled and crumbly hooves all of those fourteen years, and now as I’m sure you can see that is no longer the case. I was a skeptic and I truly did not think that this was possible. I believe that not only are her hooves in great shape, but this is a new mule because of the E3Live™ For Horses.”
This is without a doubt one of the most exciting trials for E3Live™ For Horses, the results have been and continue to be extremely dramatic, and only because “IF’s” had so many problems and the E3Live™ For Horses provided the solution in a dramatic fashion.
