Well there are some very interesting posts on here. I was very tempted not to get involved but unfortunately, temptation got the better of me!
Firstly SWTH, if you're going to quote scientific fact then please have the decency to quote the relevant source. As has been pointed out on more than one occasion - deer do NOT eat meat! The nearest you may get is Red deer which may attempt to have a chew on a discarded antler. Other than that, their digestive system is solely designed to be that of a herbivore and I would suggest you carry out some research into the digestive process of deer.
Secondly, I wonder if you are the 'AC' that 'diagnosed' the AQH as 'depressed' and 'lame' with a spinal condition?
The 'diagnosis' being based upon the following observations;
"Depressed - because when ridden it walked round with its head down, a signicant indicator the horse was unhappy!
Lame - Due to its gait, it was obviously suffering spinal problems!
She is telling me she is in pain and not happy, but also she wants to please her owner".
The truth. This is a 7 year old trained Reining AQH!!!
The scam artist concerned didn't have a clue what a Reining horse is and even suggested the horse was a "young Arab"!
Be both warned and sensible, if you have concerns - contact a professional, not some pleb who has obtained a certificate via the internet.
