RE: [RC] [RC] EPM Info. - Laurie Durgin

Anything this serious needs a full vet. appraisal, try you state University if there aren't any good vets. They can often get to the problem quicker and it doesn't cost as much as you'd think.

==========================================

I'm not sure how to send messages to Ride Camp but I have subscribed for a while and enjoy all the subjects and chats. Most recently, the EPM messages have caught my attention.
I am currently boarding a horse that has flipped over backwards a number of times in the last year. She has also choked and had to be treated by the vet twice as it was so serious. It first happened a week after he bought her last year. He thought it was his fault and had a trainer ride her and it happened again. He did'nt ride her for 6 months and then bought her to us for some ground training and we worked her for about 5 weeks and then rode her and she was wonderful. The owner took her for approx. 8 trail rides after that and had no problems. The next time he rode her, she flipped over on him and was struggling to get up as he was struggling to get away. She got up and promptly flipped over on him again. I've seen her spook and fall flat or flip over backwards in the field. He's agreed not to ride her again, obviously can't sell her and wonders what on earth to do and why she is doing this. The RideCamp posts make me wonder if she has or has been exposed to EPM in some way. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
