What is the future for an EPSM horse?
The data to date indicate that more than 90% of EPSM horses respond extremely well to a change to an EPSM diet, along with as much daily turnout and regular exercise as possible. Many EPSM horses never show problems again, although some more severely affected horses may still have episodic problems. If your horse improves, but continues to have some problems after four to six months of diet change, try to increase the fat and reduce the starch and sugar even more. If your horse shows no signs of improvement on diet change, either he is one of the few horses that don’t respond to diet change, or the problems are due to something other than EPSM.
