Re: After ride/off feed/probiotics

This probably has NOTHING to do with your horse, but I read once about
this sort of problem, and they noticed problems with gum color or
something, and it led them to find that there was exhaust going from the
truck into the horse trailer.  As long as you're checking everything
else, it wouldn't hurt.
