had a pretty sad day yesterday, good riding practice, and did some very good jumps and all that good stuff. but one of the older horses, who now has a horse nervous system disease called epm, has layed down and not gooten up for several hours twice now. the disease is kind of bad, because what happens is the horse cant get back on its feet easily, since it loses control of its muscles. spent till 2 am at the stables helping tear apart stalls so he didnt hurt itself when he tried to get back on its feet. I had to leave before he got back on his feet, but it was kinda sad because this horse was very strong and one of the better horses at the stable a month ago.
