The Equine Cushing's and Insulin Resistance Yahoo Group has recently crossed the 8000+ member milestone and is quickly approaching the celebration of it's ten year anniversary. Robin Siskel founded the EC and IR Group with the goal of keeping information firmly based in science. Thanks to so many dedicated members, EC has become the largest field trial database for PPID and IR in the world.

In the coming months we will compile and highlight as many member success stories as we can in order to celebrate the many achievements of this unique member-driven group. Each story tells a tale of dedicated owners and their horses leading more healthful, productive lives. Each provides a point of departure for member discussion of PPID and IR as relates to diagnosis, nutrition, hoof form and exercise.

We continue to seek photos of horses who have been helped by the list to compile a photographic essay to honor owners. We wish to share your story.
