[RC] Horse with EPM - Kathleen A. CrothersMy horse, Texas Dually, contacted EPM 5 yrs ago last fall. Within 2 months he looked like a starved horse from the point of hip back. He was treated and slowly recovered. I started riding him again after watching him do wheelies in the pasture and not falling down. This was about 2 months after his treatment. He now has 1550 en miles and all but one 50 were after he had epm. While real steep hills are still hard for him and he never did recover 100% of his croup muscles back he gets the job done and I never felt like he had any problems from having somewhat unbalanced croup muscles. I don't push him to go fast but have finished rides around 6 1/2 hrs. which I feel is his best speed. So, Janelle, don't give up on your horse and do as much as you safely can with him. Good luck and Happy Trails, Kathy Crothers CT region =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
