>>> Are you saying that imported horses have a 50% rate of SE? Keep reading. Judy just posted a bunch of studies.
>>>> I would like to see studies on that, as we have several imported Icelandics, none with SE, and none of mine are suffering, they are happy, riding, breeding, living out on huge pastures.... It's definitely a regional/climate thing, Storme. It's well known that desert areas of North America are considered SE-free zones. I think Robyn boards a few at her place who were sent there simply to get relief. Other people have sold or given their horses to people in the more arid west. If you don't have SE in Hawaii, count your lucky stars. >>> and not having to suffer the deep cold.... Actually, I've heard people accuse those of us who have Icelandic's in warmer climates of being unfair to the horses for not letting them have access to cold... :) >>> Where are you going with that statement? It just is not true. Keep reading...and if you don't believe the studies Judy posted, check the archives. I'm afraid it is true, sadly. Karen Thomas, NC
