'roarer'

[Amanda Perez <amandaperez@ureach.com>]

Does anyone out there have any experience with 'roaring' ie: 
condition caused by partial paralysis of larynx that causes 
obstruction to the airway (I forget the technical name).  I 
think my TWH may be a roarer: he breathes loudly and 
irregularly when cantered (sounds asthmatic) and very 
occasionaly at slower gaits, espec. when excited.  Are there 
other conditions I need to rule out?  Anyone familiar with the 
surgical treatment?  Any non-surgical treatments?  Right now I 
am only doing light riding so it's not a problem, but I plan to 
get him vetted and want to know what to ask the vet.  Can't 
afford surgery any time soon, and not sure I'd do it unless the 
surgery is reliable.
