It goes back to Nazeer. The big breeders have been covering it up for years, threatening to sue anyone who mentioned it. The only people who were honest about it were Bentwood Farms, they publicly admitted when it showed up in their herd.

The only hope is for a DNA test like they have for SCID.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053415389447235937.post-81880943193230833672007-06-20T08:46:00.000-07:002007-06-20T08:46:00.000-07:00Thank you for the in-depth dicussion on LFS and al...Thank you for the in-depth dicussion on LFS and all of the information available. I had not heard of it before Shina had her foal, but then, the world of breeding horses is not something I was involved with before finding marestare. And Arabians are a horse that I am now just learning a lot about. Thanks so much, will be checking back here again! <BR/>PS. Love your twins, too. Glad they are doing so well :)NancyVaBeachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12593748863733067088noreply@blogger.com
