EPSM is Equine Polysaccharide Storage Myopathy. also known as EPSSM or
PSSM. It causes what use to be known as Monday morning disease and
shivers in Draft horses. Read all about  it in the Rural Heritage website,
Dr. Beth Valentine's articles.

Subject: wide horses again

I am very interested in carrying the Duett saddles you can see at
www.duettsaddles.com , in the store. I seem to have become some sort of
expert?Magnet? for people seeking saddles for the unbearably wide, eg:
Fjords, Halflingers and the various Morgans shaped like oil drums with
legs.
:-) These are lovely leather saddles, German made, and imported by a
woman
here in Massachusetts, that sell for just a little more than the
synthetics
I've done so well with. They come from a fairly normal/wide tree, up to a
VERY wide tree. :-) I am told for instance, that the 38 pretty much
always
fits Fjords.  I'd love to be able to offer them as an option.

As with most saddle brands, I need to purchase a number of them at once
to
become a retailer. SOif anyone on CD-L is saddle shopping for a
widebody, do please let me know! I'd like to find 2 or 3 people
interested
in ordering Duetts, and I can play with the pricing a little for the
opportunity.

Jean,

That's funny!  My husband once came home with a movie called Damnation 
Alley thinking it was a movie about Dalmatians.  He calls them Damnations 
also!!  LOL

Hi Barb,

OK, I see that!  Like the last a in Alaskans! or Croatians, or
Christians, etc. 

But my Dad always called them Damnation Couch Dogs, so you see where I
got the O! LOL

If you look at the tion in your post and the last one you will see the o.

Almost everyone who is not involved with Dalmatians makes the same mistake.

Lisa,
Have you found overheating problems with the Fjords in CDE's? seems they
might have more body mass than the Canadians? Are the Canadians prone to
the muscle metabolism problem EPSM like the drafts? I know some Fjords are
