At age of 25 the Landal x Godehard stallion had an ongoing battle with laminitis. Â As owner and rider Hardy said: Â "We made progress with healing & had setbacks, until finally we lost the war. His condition suddenly & unexpectedly changed on Wednesday. As I saw his foot deteriorating, I had a meltdown"
