Arrhythmia

Title: Arrhythmia

I almost forgot, my mess of a horse, Beau, has an arrhythmia, too.  Or at least that’s what my vet told me when I got a health certificate from him for my aborted Washoe trip last year.  Becky Hart told me that one of her competitive endurance horses had an arrhythmia (Maryben will probably tell me which one of them it was….) and it didn’t stop him from competing at all.  So I just plain forgot that the vet ever said that, and this was 250 AERC miles ago.  This is a horse I tried to sell, but every time I had a buyer look at him he had a different ailment: 1) a corneal ulcer; 2) respiratory disease with lots of icky mucous; 3) cut his leg open; 4)  had his ear bit up; and 5) grade 2 lame.  So after bragging about all his other physical shortcomings and all of the above…. I guess he’s mine for life!  J J J
