“The Pony Expressed ” received the following press release recently and will be doing a follow-up, which will be posted Sunday, September 25th. For more information on this Saturday’s event, log on to www.heartofTucson.org. This is great news for horses suffering from laminitis.

 

MEDIA ADVISORY

Barbaro’s Half-Brother, Dyna King, to Receive Life-Restoring Treatment With the Nolan Hoof Plate

WHAT

The horse community is rallying to prevent another member of the Barbaro family from succumbing to the disease that claimed the famous racing horse four years ago.

Barbaro’s life ended early after a shattered leg led to a condition known as laminitis.

Dyna King, Barbaro’s half-brother, suffers from the same ailment but the Nolan Hoof Plate offers the horse a new lease on life.

Field-testing of the Nolan Hoof Plate showed a 90% efficacy rate, allowing horses not only to immediately find relief from pain and discomfort, but also to recover and go on and live productive lives within weeks of receiving Nolan Hoof Plates.

Dyna King is currently being rehabilitated at HEART of Tucson, a non-profit, pro-horse equine rescue organization run entirely by volunteers.

The rehabilitation of Dyna King, the training of the vet and farrier, as well as application of the Nolan Hoof Plate were all donated by an equine enthusiast who has personal experience with the success of the Nolan Hoof Plate.
