Equine Protozoal Myeloencephalitis

Hello and welcome to our group. There is alot of very useful information to be gained from this group, not only on EPM and treating it, but also on rehabbing the EPM horse and dealing with EPM emotionally. Feel free to ask all the questions you want. Please introduce yourself and your horse to our list.

Owning an EPM horse is sort combination of a trial by fire, and a labor of love. The animal that was once your active partner and perhaps took you to great glory, is suddenly a very big, incapacitated dependent creature. You're going to be forking over huge amounts of money in an effort to diagnose and "cure" them in the hopes that you'll regain the status quo. Some do, probably more don't.

But probably a huge majority of the people on this list would tell you that while you may lose either temporarily or permanently your riding partner, you'll gain an insight into the psyche and spirit of your horse that you really weren't aware of before.

Please be sure to read our welcome to the EPM Group letter http://www.meadowherbs.com/yahooletter.htm, Please take the time to fill out the EPM Horse Owner Questionnaire located in our File section. Sincerely

Patti and Moose
