Well look slike we'll be having a few that will go down in the next year or 
so..
 
Amy, the TB with EPM just came out of remission and had one of the most 
violent seizures I've seen in a long time. She starts spinning in her stall 
till she hits her head and darn near knocks herself silly.. I was on Tush at 
the time and had to hope off since I was worried about Tush spooking and 
getting Elaine out of the house to deal with it. This is not good..  since 
there's no real way to deal with these as far as I can tell, unless they keep 
the horse medicated on some anti-siezure drug..
 
Then there's Mike the Percheron.. Neat draft horse with rotation in both back 
feet... and now he's started badly on one of the front feet. He's a game old 
bird (19 I think).. but it doesn't really look good in the long run.. but 
then there's folks who are supprised he's still going after the way he 
rotated in the back feet.. the way he's shod in the back in amazing..
 
Ah well..  And CJ hasn't been good with her rear right.. been kinda ouchie 
lately..  I wish the budget allowed some adequine... but we'll just have to 
work through it and keep an eye on it.
