so great, and i see the maggot therapy...i always wondered if anyone tried that, and now i know. it sounds so gross, but it works so well when you're dealing with infected tissue.

Never thought I'd say I liked maggots (yuck..) but in this case I love 'em!

What a miracle it will be if this horse pulls through everything he's been through.

i read a book about them using maggots in the 1800's to treat wounded soldiers. they used leeches too, and still do..so i always wondered about maggots.
they won't eat the good stuff, just the bad.

St Nicholas Abbey died this morning. Devastating news for all @coolmore - his courage was extraordinary.

Just awful.
