Nehalem Bey,
nicknamed, Shah is one of our purebred Arabians born on the farm on May
13, 1999.
UPDATEDiagnoses: Cushings Disease In May 2008,
Shah had a near fatal episode of colic followed several months
later with severe laminitis. Shah had bilateral dorsal hoof wall
resections in August of 2008. In February of 2009 his left front
P3 was showing signs of rotation and sinking and a tendon was cut to
relieve the pressure and give him comfort. Unfortunately, in June
2009, Shah's left hoof collateral cartledge began to degenerate. He was
placed on antibiotics for a month. In July when xrays
were taken it was discovered that is left hoof was not improving
and his right was beginning to founder again. At this
time we made the heartbreaking decision to have him euthanized.
He was was cremated and his ashes are buried on the farm. I thought
about taking this page off our website, but he was such a special horse
that I decided to leave it up as a tribute.
