 I had my eyes opened WIDE when I worked at a Standardbred
 track. Herpes is common in the race industry and if you 
 need information on it go to a standardbred site. Someone
 posted about a horse having sores under it's lips and this is
 a sign of herpes also it is very debilitating as the horses
 become sore all over and funky gaited from the pain.
 There are treatments for it but it is pretty serious from 
 what I witnessed. >>

And horses in racing careers are the most frequently vaccinated of any of 
them.  But don't worry about vaccinating your horse . . . there's really 
nothing to these concerns you hear circulating from the health food/holistic 
wackos out there about the hidden "costs" of vaccination . . .really, none at 
all.   Anecdotal evidence.  Means nothing.  Right Dr. Newell?<g>

much . . . and is healthy as a horse . . .probably healthier, than a lot of
