A vet mentioned to me that it is a case of "some horses get it, and 
some don't".  When taking a horse off of Alfalfa and putting them on Oat
Hay, I guess I don't understand...are they growing the "hay" in 
different locations?  Is it becasue the Alfalfa has a higher protein, 
or is that not the problem?  I hve also been told that in San Diego 
county there are different locations within the county that have higher 
percentages of problems.  I assume its where the Feed store gets there 
shipments from? Not sure on that one?
