Oh wow. That sounds neat.
Oh by the way. The horses belonging to a friend of mine have both come down with something very similar to what you think that Okie had, and they can't figure out what it is. The Arab has it the worst, if not something all together different. The other day the poor thing broke out in hives with huge swellings under his "armpits" It seems to have spread to others in the barn. They put him on huge doses of steriods and ABs. The arab/appy cross had a fever with lots of green snot coming out of his nose.

My trainer and I don't believe this is Rhino. Horses are getting sick whether they were innoculated or not. All start recovering with antibiotics but it's taking a long time to get their strength back. I wormed them today and the vet coming out next week to immz them again. The owner thinks this is a bad cold or just some kind of resp. bug going around. I just don't think it is viral though .

Those poor horses. Let me know what they find out, ok? Okie physically better but still doesn't have his energy back and picky with his food but he does put his head down now. I question that he walks steady too. It's like his lower left back leg a little wobbly . Eddie got behind him and couldn't see what I thought I was seeing so maybe nothing though.
