Cisco EPM
Great News on the Cisco health story. Cisco visited Dr. Randy Huenfield on Monday, 7/23/18. Dr. Randy was very pleased. Cisco was in better physical shape than was expected. Cisco did not need any acupuncture treatment. All his points were clear. We had some minor chiro adjustment what you would expect from a well horse.
One day of rest and I rode him. There are muscles in his hind leg that are weaker. The EPM affects rear end muscles normally used, so other muscles have to compensate. That has been going on since this started.
He was better when I rode him. His muscles are still weak, but getting stronger.
I rode him today, 7/26/18. We started walking over poles for rehab stuff. We are only at a walk. It did occur to me that when I get him all collected and he is walking good, I might ask for a faster gait.
Dr. Randy called and left a message. One Blood tests show Cisco 25% better. The other blood test shows 50% better. He still in the EPM infection stage, but his body is fighting the infection! I rode Cisco at Erin’s and was impressed with how much better he is. I did poles. I let Cisco go where ever he wanted. He did walk over the poles on his own. We rode 30 minutes at a walk. When he tried to speed up his walk, he limped. I stopped the limp immediately with a few leg yields.
After our 30 minute ride, I used the Red Light the rear end points. He did several things that showed he felt relief when I had the red light on some of his rear end points.

I’m going to get the magnetic sheet going too now that it is cooler at night.
7/27/18. Rode Cisco in round pen. Not long
7/28/18 rode Cisco at home. Went out of round pen and walked around barn area. We did get some long strides. Less lame steps than before. Is it the poles? Is the pasture uneven ground good for his muscle development?
Rode again and can’t stop the limping.
