We bought a horse in the late summer and about a month after we got him he started to trip while under the saddle. (His registered name is El Top Notch Kid and he is a 6 year old Quarter Horse.) He kept getting worse until he couldn’t do tight circles without tripping over his feet. We got him tested for EPM and there was about a 67% chance that he had the disease.
He went through treatment for a month and we are now a few months past that. He can do tight circles in his stall and runs around in the pasture.
I wanted to know if anyone had experience with rehabilitating EPM horses or knew of any good links to sites that do? I have googled some things but there isn’t really a set way to go about this. I’m not looking to turn him into a 3 day eventer, just a walk/trot (not sure if I would trust him as a trail horse…)
Just looking for some guidance and positive thoughts to hopefully get him back on his feet, he is such a sweet guy.
