A horse with narcelpsy...

[only_me]

being sold for £15,000

They do say it is easy managable and horse is competing at medium (or advanced medium?) BD, But would you want to take a risk and buy the horse??

what do you think?

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz! Only joking it sounds very expensive with that condition.

One on our yard is suspected by vets to have it.
She has been told never to ride him again

.

He went down one time and stayed down for 30mins, quite horrible to see really.

There is a horse on my yard with it. She is ridden as it does not occur when she is concentrating on something but the owner was talking to her instructor on a hot day after a lesson when she nearly went down! She falls over all the time in the stable and field and has big knees and scars on her fetlocks as a result. She is only hacked and ridden in the school by owner but former sharer did bits and bobs with her such as local shows and XC schooling.

Tim Stockdales horse Fresh direct cloudy night had narcelpsy. She was very successful!

Yes, Cloudy night had it but didn't affect her when ridden. They had to take the grill off her stable though as if she went down looking over the door, she would strangle herself!

My horse has it and has evented to novice level without problems. It's never a problem when he's ridden though.

a horse on my yard has it. It came to light following a colic op before that he didn't show any signs bar odd scrapes to the head. He is fine ridden as his brain is kept active but when he is on "down time" he tends to fall over especially in his stable, oddy in the field he is fine
