  1. My 10-year-old Missouri Foxtrotter mare with a mild case of Cushing's disease grass foundered five years ago, but with rapid, excellent treatment, her feet are fine. She has a cresty neck, stays fat on nothing, and did not shed well this summer (first time). I have noticed that she is not as muscular along her topline and hindquarters, but I had been contributing that to not enough riding. What can I feed or administer to her at this stage to avoid full-blown Cushing's disease and help with the current condition? I've read about using Chaste Tree Berry, other "natural" products, and pergolide (which I understand is expensive and must be used for a lifetime). Updated: May 23, 2008
