Grass Sickness

I lost my boy Magners last month to sub-acute grass sickness. Such a horrible disease. I have made a group on facebook in memory of him. I want to spread awareness.

Please look at documents on the group which have lots of links to different info on different sites.

I have just made an album in memory of all horses that have suffered with GS. If anyone would like a picture posted, post one on the wall with a comment and I will add it to the "In memory of..." album.

Thanks Rachel

Don't Cry for the Horses
by Brenda Riley Seymore

Don't Cry for the horses that life has set free,
A million horses forever to be,
Don't cry for the horses now in Gods hands
as they dance and they prance to a heavenly band,
they were ours as a gift but never to keep,
as they close their eyes forever to sleep.

Their spirits unbound on silver wings they fly
a million horses against the blue sky,
look up into heaven, you'll see them above,
the horses we lost, the horses we loved,
manes and tails flowing they gallop through time,
they never were yours, they never were mine,
don't cry for the horses they will be back someday,
when our time has come they will show us the way.

On silver wings they will lift us to the warmth of the sun,
when our life is over and eternity has begun,
we will jump the sun and dance over the moon
a ballet of horses and riders on the winds to a heavenly tune,
do you hear that soft nicker close to your ear?
Don't cry for the horses, Love the ones that are here.

Hi,

I lost my 3yo colt Ambassdor to Sub Acute EGS on 14th May in West Sussex...I'm absolutely devastated and soooo frustrated that there is no cure.

I am just about to click on your facebook page and will post there too.

I am wondering if there is a connection to ulcers?...trying to think of reasons some are affected and others not?
 
As a child we lost two of our ponies to grass sickness (North of scotland is particularly bad for it) and was told there was no option than to pts. Maybe the increased awareness will encourage more research into a vaccine or such.

At least they know what it is caused by now and some animals recover.
 
IMPORTANT MESSAGE!!

The more that awareness is spread the better!!!!!! My horse Magners died from this horrible disease (Wiltshire area). I am trying my best to spread awareness to all horse owners. Please read up on Grass Sickness and tell others about it. See:
