lady laminitis?

So everyone and everything was way wet and we had to stand in our shed for days.  There was hardly any sun and the dirt got really super soft and it is deep and shiny and a little bit slippery.  Some of the ponies like to lay down and roll around and then when they get up, you can hardly tell who they are. I do not do that because I prefer to keep my beautiful coat all fluffy and shiny.  A couple of days ago, a different lady came and put hay in our boxes for breakfast and for dinner.  And then the next day, our lady was back, but she walked funny.  Have you heard about how some ponies walk when they eat too much nice green grass, or they go in the barn and eat lots of good grain and then their feet hurt?  I have never seen any ponies that this happened to, so maybe it is a farm legend.  All of us ponies have feet that are pretty and feel good.  Anyway, the lady was walking like her feet hurt like those ponies.  I don't know where she would have found a lot of green grass, because all our grass is brown. She was having a lot of trouble walking in the deep mushy ground with her floppy shiny big feet.  It was taking her forever to put our hay in our boxes.  We tried to get her to go faster by grabbing the bales of hay with our teeth but she didn't seem to like that at all.  And when we crowded around her,  sometimes her floppy feet disappeared completely, -- so how could we help it if we accidentally put a hoof on top of them?   So today she was almost normal but maybe that was because the ground was harder because it was really cold last night.  If she starts to walk like a normal pony, maybe I will get to go into the White Hill soon.
