It may be a minor irritation, but please drop the “s” at the end of the brand name Legend. With all due respect, if you know enough about it to inject it, please use the correct name. Jus’ sayin’.

If USEF weren’t given all the documentation related to the case, I wouldn’t use the word innocent. Innocence, in this case, wouldn’t need nine lawyers.

Nine lawyers are needed to deal with the USEF, the USOC, the NJ Complaint and all of the defendants, RMHP, HSD, and other complaints that have been filed that the public is not privy to. They are hired not because I am guilty but to aggressively pursue wrongs committed against me.
Please explain why you think, “The necropsy is a report that needs to be read by a professional…” Is there something in the report that you are afraid will be misinterpreted?
You wanting to keep the necropsy from public inspection implies some level of guilt in my eyes. Otherwise why hide it.
Sorry I could not make it to your show this year even though you emailed me multiple times asking for my attendance. My apologies for the irritation.

…because the general public would not understand a necropsy. It does need to be read and summarized by a professional, which we have had done by multiple professionals. I just told you what was in it in laymen’s terms.
The elephant in the room is you can not test for mag sulfate so your negative tests for a billion other things doesn’t mean much. Another reason you may want to consider shutting UP!
Is this how the world of ponies conducts itself? I am soo glad that I never had to ride ponies. I feel sorry for the lives they have to live and what they have to endure.
Does it not bother you that you are going through a box of syringes a week? Come on!!!

Well it was tested for and opined on.
You can not test for mag, it is a naturally occurring substance in the body.

Not to take sides, but often you are damned if you do and damned if you don’t. If there’s nothing to hide and you open it up, people who have something against you will nitpick every little detail. If there is something to hide, it’s even worse. We see this in business and politics all the time.
I don’t think the necropsy being unavailable for public inspection necessarily means anything one way or the other.
After the Exxon Valdez debacle occurred, a prominent newscaster asked the captain why he wouldn’t just come out and say he had not been drinking. If he had nothing to hide then the premise was he should just come out and say so. The captain said that for legal reasons (ongoing court case) he had been advised not to discuss certain subjects. Does that mean he was definitely drinking because he wouldn’t say otherwise? No.
Just as a point of information, a necropsy report lists all post mortem findings.
For instance, a horse could be euthanized for an intestinal blockage, and the report might make note of a couple of lag screws in a front sesamoid. It could further note that this particular horse had evidence of prior exercise-induced pulmonary hemorrhage.
Doesn’t mean the screws caused the colic.
Or the EIPH.
While determining Mg threshold levels for testing in live animals has been difficult, I believe it is pretty easy to determine if levels are high in a necropsy. Given the fact that the USEF was given access to the necropsy, and found no evidence of wrongdoing, I would have to assume it’s unlikely the pony was given Mg. It’s really easy to speculate on a tragedy, but facts need to be considered.
The fact is that at high level of competitive riding most barn do administer illegal substances. But most of these trainers are skilled enough to not engage in public legal battle(although many are sued). They hide their “mistakes” or criminal acts under masks of human and animal compassion, i.e. join USEF committees, become a judge(so you can take revenge on those that scorn you now, or help your sales business) and advertise acts of kindness on FB and other forums of self promotion. The Talent Search was a great try. Follow that route and all will be forgotten. Follow the example of one of our most revered Olympic riders.

According to this letter from USEF to the New York Post, USEF was NOT given access to the necropsy or the full list of meds given to Humble.

I have nothing to hide. Here is the report by Dr Reed of Rood and Riddle which summarizes the report and the findings:

It took me a bit to get it uploaded… this should put an end to the naysayers.

I can not speak for why Mr. Long says one thing one day and then another the next. Maybe he was doing damage control as a NY Times reporter was all over the USEF.
You can’t test for calcium.
Interestingly, that letter does not state anything conclusive about an underlying condition. It asserts that there is the possibility because of the high level of eosinophils present in a short period of time, but that’s not the same as diagnosing something.

well you may want to tell New Bolton that because Humble was tested for it.

The necropsy states “emerging lung disease”.
