    Darn, I can't remember his name either -- there was an artcle in EQUUS 
about it (last year I believe) ..there was another article about a horse who 
had foundered because he ate too many little green apples from a tree in the 
pasture.
    After I wrote that note I remembered about Meg telling us that Fiddle had 
broken down the fence and had gotten into the pasture that she had fertilized 
etc and her hubby had to replace the fence posts (something he had planned on 
doing slowly during the summer but had to do all at once) ..... I then 
wondered if that's what had caused the founder ...
