Lorien Stable: Trainer's Notes

Got the results today.

He has the heterozygous Affected Gene (HN). Not sure where we go from here, we will be contacting the vet tomorrow.

Update from Morning Feed***

I went with my dad this morning to see how Awesome was behaving. My dad went to the corral without his water or feed pail. He went up to the barn to clean out his stal ...

Sorry that was my post above.

This happened to my father. Awesome reared and my father pulled back on the reins, throwing them both off balance and they fell. Awesome landed on my dad then stepped on him again. Awesome was fine ...

Our barn is relatively small--big enough for a tack room, feed room and one stable. We have an open door policy--Awesome can enter the barn when he pleases to go into his stall. Which he hasn't done ...

Thanks for your response to my other post.
How would you suggest keeping the horse from crowding my father when he walking to the barn with a pail? Or would you suggest putting him in the stable unt ...
