Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

Is this the horse that you asked me the question about in your PM? He's cute! My horse that I lost was a Paint also and I loved him so much! I know that your new horse will never replace the old one in your heart, but he'll sure go a long ways in soothing it. Congrats!

No..I decided against that one. He was a paint too. I also do not ride with tennis shoes on, but I was just going to look. LOL I didn't think she'd let me ride them out in the snow, but she did. On to a new chapter in my horse life! He is 7 years old. My Arabian was 26 when he passed. So I hope we will have a lot of good years together. The most amazing thing about all this is that I can get right up in the saddle! Not like before when I must have hurt my poor horses back.It took me forever to mount. Losing weight has more benefits than I ever thought of!!!

I'm glad you decided against the other horse CS. I think you would've been setting yourself up for some trouble with the laminitis. This horse will hopefully give you a lot of good years ahead. I sure wish I was in the financial position to have another horse right now but will have to be content with riding my neighbors horses for now.

Congrats on your new family member!

PS I was wondering about the tennis shoes
