The Feliz Cumpleaños Endurance Ride (Road to Tevis #127)
Last weekend River completed two back-to-back 30-mile LDs at the Feliz Cumpleaños Endurance Ride. Normally, I would have done at least one 50-mile ride, but River was recently diagnosed with and treated for EPM (equine protozoal myeloencephalitis). (Read my blog post Detecting subtle signs of EPM in horses.) My vet encouraged me to keep conditioning and competing; it would allow us to better…

Detecting subtle signs of EPM in horses
Nearly two years after I bought her, River was diagnosed with EPM (Equine Protozoal Myeloencephalitis). The diagnosis was based on high titers of Sarcocystis neurona as registered on UC Davis‘s Sarcofluor test. (She was negative for Neospora hughesi on the NeoFluor test.) My vet ordered the test based on River’s wellness exam and my description of a series of symptoms. In hindsight, I really…

One way to deal with a horse tying up: River's story continues
Ever since River’s mysterious tying up at Cuyama Oaks, I’ve been researching exertional rhabdomyolysis (aka tying up) in horses. Much of that research has been simply asking for feedback from friends and acquaintances. The take home? There are many many ways to deal with a horse tying up. These seem to depend on the cause, the desired result, and the humans and horses involved. The purpose of…

River's mysterious tying up (Road to Tevis #126)
On Saturday River and I started the Cuyama Oaks 50 mile endurance ride. Around mile 3.5, she gave three big uphill bucks and came down lame on the right hind. Long story short, by the time I was packing up to head home that afternoon, I was 95% certain she had tied up. (Read about equine exertional rhabdomyolysis.) That diagnosis was confirmed Monday with a trip to the vet and bloodwork. Her…

Don't be Rodney Dangerfield: If your horse bites you, bite it back
A week or so ago I came across this post on Facebook’s Equine Behaviour Interest Group. A woman asked what she could do to discourage her mare from acting like she was going to bite. She received some great responses, but she also received a lot of unasked for advice. (This is typical. Read my old post on How to discourage questioning in an online horse forum.) The woman had said what she…

My Tevis Cup Nightmare (Road to Tevis #118)
Last night I woke up sobbing from a terrible dream about Tevis. I guess it had to happen sooner or later. However, I really didn’t expect my Tevis Cup nightmares to begin until I was actually entered and counting down the days. Instead it was last night… at least 11 months and possibly years before I actually RIDE Tevis. Oh well! Once I finished waking up, I realized the absurdity of my Tevis…

This is not science! On surveys, opinions, blogs, and Tevis
Earlier this week, I shared a post in three places on Facebook: My own page, the AERC page, and Endurance Riders America. I will paste my original post and my edit below, but first I want to say, this is not science! My purpose was twofold. First, I wanted to give everyone an opportunity to express their opinions about the Tevis Cup. Emotions ran high after the death of two horses this year.…
