[RC] Heart Murmu - Stagg_NewmanMy horse Jayel Super has a mild heart murmur was first discovered at a Old Dominion clinic where a sonogram was part of the services. At the time he was I believe 5 years old. Of course I started to panic. I asked my vet, Dr. Jeannie Waldron, who was hosting the clinic, what I should do. She said he had been doing pretty well in training and suggested that I just ride the horse as many horses at rest may have that type of condition. The heart murmur has not affected Super's career of over 10 years now including 4 wins and and 2 BCs at the Old Dominion 100, 3 wins and a 3 BCs at the Biltmore 100, 1 win and BC at the Canadian Championship, and a two 4ths at the Pam Am Championship and a 2nd and North American Championship. (bit of a proud father syndrone). So do have the horse carefully checked out. Hopefully your horse will have a long and successful career in the sport.
