A friend has a Haflinger gelding who has all the same physical symptoms, and has received all the same care as the Fjord you wrote about. After all was said and done, we now know this horse must be on dry lot with Orchard grass hay. No other type of hay will do, and any pasture at all is too much. We figured out that other hay might be all "grass hay" but several bales will be leaner, then the next bale might be a little richer, so he'll do fine for a couple weeks then get loose again. His full brother does fine on any type of hay, and fine on pasture, but since they are a team, and the only horses on the place, they both live comfortably with this regimine. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Capture the missing critters!
