Excellent post, Ken. For the
information of anyone interested, our daughter once lost a week-old foal to a
heart attack. He was healthy in the morning, dead in the afternoon.
Diagnosis, genetic heart problem. No one has the right to criticize
another for "horse killing" until that person discovers all the facts. The
post criticizing Jeremy was extremely thoughtless and cruel.

I Have no idea who Jeremy Reynolds is either, and I also
cant believe some-one would attack him with such a vicious e-mail. Obviously
some-one who knows NOTHING about horses. Perhaps he/she should consider
taking up motor bikes instead!
Jeremy is Heather Bergantz husband. And he is
currently in Spain with her. Jeremy was riding with Heather on his horse Indy
and his horse had a heart attack and died. He was a fairly young horse, I
think he was 8 or 9 years old. Indy was in excellent shape and had won some
rides and gotten some BC's. He was getting ready for the Ride and Tie
Championship. The vets felt that he probably had a faulty heart valve and it
just failed. He did nothing wrong, just a normal conditioning ride. It could
happen to anyone of us on any given day, or even out in the pasture. Jeremy is
a talented rider and takes excellent care of his horses and the post that was
made regarding him was in very poor taste, and the person who made it needs to
crawl back into her hole. Ken Cook, AERC West
