>>>> Kentucky? I thought Stjarni was coming from Kentucky. I think it's fairly humid and buggy here in the summer. I think horses do develop SE here. I've seen some with it here, so I assume it's our conditions that make them have the reaction. I would consider place like California and other dry states out west to be lower SE risks.
Kentucky is DEFINITELY a strong SE zone for imported Icelandic's. Anneliese will answer I'm sure, but she's imported a lot of Icelandic's into KY, since the early 1980's, and she's kept records. She's told me that her incidence of SE in imports has run about 60% I believe. I believe that the entire country east of the Mississippi is considered at high-risk for SE, with some spots west also included. Loftur has been in the USA for about seven years maybe now...and it was only late last summer that he showed some suspicious areas. I'm praying that it wasn't really SE, or that it will at least be easy to control. Karen Thomas [EMAIL PROTECTED]
