boo hoo hoo

My horse is....well, we don't know what's wrong with him. He's just 'off'. Last week the vet thought it might be EPSM or PSSM and had us start on selenium and vitamin E supplements. Today he's having his hocks xrayed. Not sure if we're starting the EPSM diet. It's hard when I'm at work and my trainers are there with the vet. grrrr.

So, we're taking a pass on St. Louis next week. I'm a bit bummed because we had gotten off to a great start for the show season last month.

But for those of you who are going, have a great time and good luck!

AWE, what a bummer! And after such a great start to the First Years too... Don't you hate it when that happens? But you are doing the right thing - take plenty of time to get a firm diagnosis and proper treatment. I see way too many horses rushed back in to the show ring. There is nothing more important than their soundness! But it is still such a letdown!!!

Thanks, y'all! I'm just having a bit of a pity party today and thought I'd invite you to join me.

Kikki, you're so right! My trainers are on the same page. The vet asked today how important it was to go to the show. Jennifer (Miss Trainer) told him she'd rather take our time and get a solid understanding of *why* he's off. My poor baby. :(

We should get the xray results tomorrow.
