Ridecamp: [RC] [Guest] PSSM

capeck@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi Kristi,
I was on ride camp and read that your horse has pssm.  Is he an Arabian?  I 
have had problems for 3 years and everyone thought I was neurotic about 
this horse, but I intuitively figured out to "manage" him.  Now I am 
devastated.
do you know anyone that has had a "productive, competitive" horse.  What 
happens when you have to back off the exercise.  I'm not sure I can be 
consistant because he's at home now and I only have pasture - no arena.  I 
can't always ride him consistantly.  Ironically I was riding him 
consistantly for 3 years trying to figure out what was wrong with him.  Is 
this as terrible as I think it is?  How long did it take to know your horse 
was responding to the diet.  How badly and how often did he tie up?
I know this is lengthy but I'd sure like to hear from you.
Thanks,
Caryn
