Ditto ditto ditto. I just lost my beloved Fjord to EPM. I listened to all those around me that it wasn't unusual for a trip here/there from a young horse and/or his feet were improperly trimmed, and/or he was going through a growth spurt, etc.etc. I did end up calling the vet (as the last 2 weeks, the uncoordination was quite evident) and Henry had a full neurological exam. He did test positive for EPM, but the Vet College (University of Guelph) were going on about Wobbler's (suspicious radiograph of cervical C-7). I still do not have the full post-mortem report, so right now - still left wondering what caused the lesions along his CNS. Anyhow - if you find this unusual behaviour for your horse, I would definitely call the vet. Better safe than sorry and if it is nothing, all you are out is a call fee - but you would have peace of mind.
