Thank you. I competed Hunter/Jumper for years. My last horse, the one pictured here,was a Level 3 Dresage horse. Zak (Zakaroff) was a Danish Warmblood. I lost him 6 years ago at age 25. I am now almost 82 and no longer have a horse. I miss horses so much.

Hi Carol. So very glad that you are doing well with your Chronic Kidney Disease. I do not have an answer for you..have you asked your oncologist/hematologist? Thinking there are numerous factors/variables involved as far as CLL goes...how high your lymphocyte counts are and all the other blood work that they do (platelets, hemaglobin, etc.) Also...kidney dialysis may affect it? Keep us informed when you do get some answers ok. Love your picture!! I used to compete in hunter/jumper many moons ago!

Thank you for your great advice. I have had CKD for so ling that I have forgotten a lot of this. But then a healthy diet is always best.

Awww....I miss horses too. Due to my plethora of injuries from prior accidents, I'm not able to even take a lesson if I wanted to...guess we must hold on to all the wonderful memories we had when we were riding and competing and loving them Carol.
