    [RC] Atypical Metabolic Episode - goearth


    Hello, i am curious if i am the only one that has had AME's?  It first happend on a ride in my back yard on the OD and i left the check about 50 miles out (Camp Roosevelt on the OD 100) and down the trail Ballistic started weaving and stumbling and i got off and thought WOW what is this?  after a few minutes he was back to Normal running circles arround me and i started riding again and he did it again.  I thought..."you are not going to die in my back yard" so i turned arround and went back to the Vet Check and said this horse ain't right.  The Vet looked at him and said he's Fine go on out.  No way....  he ain't right.  Then he started stumbling and was ready to crash and the Vet saw it and he came out of it again. He was pulled w/a RO that was probably M.  Well today i talked w/a friend who had somewhat the same experience at the Vermont Ride.  I think, but i do not know that it was ulcers that had been inflamed by electrolytes because it went away just as quick as it came.  It was strange and scary and baffled the Vets.  There was never a determination to this AME.  has anyone else had a similiar experience?  tom sites
