I bet you won't know until you try conditioning him up.  Drako has had PF in 
his chest two years ago, and I don't expect it to be a problem if and when 
he gets conditioned up.  I've heard of one other case of internal abscessing 
where the horse was retired afterwards - he never did bounce back.

I've only dealt with one case of pigeon fever that affected the chest
only, but no problems after it was cleared up. The only problems I've
heard of from pigeon fever was a couple horses that had it in their
legs, were still lame 2 years later.

Hi all,

Thought I'd ask if anyone has any experiences, success or otherwise
about using a horse that has had Pigeon Fever. Was there any lasting
damage to prevent you from using the horse in endurance?

I have a good prospect for my Granddaughter, but he had a bad case of PF
for a couple of months this fall, (lesions on his back mostly). He was
just pronounced clear by the vet.

Just wondering if it would be a problem when we start conditioning hard
if something might crop up?

Thanks

Janice
